Madame Alexander Dolls

If you have a chance to look at the book Alexander-Kins by Patricia Smith you will find this rare doll on page 162. She is a straight leg walker doll in beautiful condition from 1955. She was called Scarlett and was part of the Fiction and Storybook line by Madame Alexander. She has her original tagged clothing as you can compare to the book. She is doll #485. Her dress is flower print muslin, trimmed with a dark green braid and tiny dark green bows. The sleeves of the dress are made of tulle as well as the attached upper part of the underskirt of the dress. The rest of the underskirt is the same print of muslin. She wears and excellent preserved condition wide straw hat adorned with flowers. Please see all of her photos. This doll is 8 inches tall. Her walker is a bit fussy not working on one side properly. It is a common problem with these old dolls. I will leave that up to her new owner. She was never played with. Every curl in her wig is in place and as you can see by the photos she has the standard triple stitch wig. Her shoes are in beautiful condition with perfect snaps, rayon socks and fuzzy bottoms. Her bloomers have lace and a hint of yellow under the lace. Elastic is showing signs of age but holding fairly well. I can’t find anything seriously wrong with any of her clothing. I can’t verify that her bloomers and slip are hers only because the book does not describe her underclothing. I bought this doll in an antique store years ago and she is as I bought her. She is free from smoke and has lived in a cabinet for many years. She has been free from light sources and you can see her color is even and lovely. No seam splits or cracking. Her hat has it’s original elastic as well as, tie. There may be a slight frey on the trim edges of the ties and bows. There is a slight frey on the tag due to age, Also I have included a photo of an indentation that is slight and on her arm which is a factory error. It is not a crack at all. I have at times over the years used dolly rouge on my dolls which washes off with plain water and leaves no damage. I can’t recall if this doll ever had it or not so I just mention it because, it does not affect the value of this doll at all. She is gorgeous, in un-played with condition with a bit of a fussy walker, needs some string attention. I can’t say how the walker will work. She is a very old doll. She is rare and of great value. She will make a lovely addition to your collector or a fantastic Christmas/Holiday gift for that doll collector in your family.
