Original 1940s Effanbee Dy-Dee Doll Playpen in the larger of the two sizes produced for Effanbee in this blue and pink color. It is documented in the Effanbee reference by Barbara Hilliker and Peggy Montei.
 
Measures approximately 19" square and 10.5" high off the floor. This playpen had wheels at one time, but someone has removed them at some point.
 
This sweet little piece of dolly nursery furniture with its distinctive brown and cream graphics is in great condition with some wear. Additionally, it is FLAT and there is no warping, which can commonly occur when not responsibly stored. The pink and blue side rails retain much of their paint, with some light cosmetic wear.
 
While the playpen does not fold down for storage, it is easily disassembled down to the 4 sides, and base, whilch I will do to ensure safe shipping.
 
My own 15" mold 1 Dy-Dee baby doll is shown inside quietly playing with her toys while Mom does her housework and is not included.
 
Doll and toys are not included. Purchase is for PLAYPEN only. Last two photos are file photos showing a 20" Dy-Dee Lou in the large sized playpen, and a photo from the book with a 15" baby Dy-Dee Jane.
 
If you collect dolls, and most especially Dy-Dee dolls you know that space in your 'nursery' can be at a premium. But consider this... you can easily 'corral' two or three little babies inside (all cryin' to get out I expect") and they will be safe from accidents or falling over. Shame on me... I have 7 of them, both large and small :-) YOU WILL LOVE HAVING THIS DARLING PIECE OF DY-DEE history!
