    Description

    This doll is quite a mystery to me, as she is unmarked and has quite an unusual look with sad, big brown eyes.  I have 2 tags attached to her written by the original adult collector, dated 1964.  I've taken pics of the tags that state the doll was
    purchased in 1964 at an antiques show
    , and the she is
    "a Korean-American doll, her daddy was a g.i.".
    Whether she was meant to depict a Korean American or not, she is unique, and I've never seen another doll like her in over 30 years of doll collecting.  As a child, I always lamented how dolls were usually blonde and blue eyed.  This little doll will add some diversity:)
    This cute toddler is 11" tall, and she is made out of a
    squishy vinyl
    , not the harder blown vinyl.  She has pretty shiny black hair arranged into 2 long braids down her back.  Her face paint is nice, and her amber brown sleep eyes are clear with molded eyelashes.  Her eyes need a nudge to shut when she lies down, and another nudge to open them when she stands.  You can see when her eyes are shut that she has a bit of a scrape on the paint of the left eyelid (left in the pic), and there's a much smaller tiny scrape on the right eyelid's paint.  Around the bottom of the eyes where lower eyelashes would be, is a small metal? edge that shows slightly.  This edge looks kind of odd, like it has scraped paint or a tiny bit of corrosion?  It's not obvious and doesn't look terrible, but it is there.
    Her body is jointed at hips and shoulders and doesn't have any cracks or stains.  I did notice a small slightly dark "shadow" mark 1/4" long by 1/8" wide on her right arm, near her elbow.  It's very subtle.  Her shirt is clean and untagged; it could be manufactured.  She wears cotton panties.  She has white mary jane shoes on too.
    If you like vintage vinyl dolls, this cute little doll will look great in your collection!  Please see my other auctions for more vintage toys from the '50s - '70s, and for vintage Barbie doll and clothing lots.  I'm happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases:)
