1940 A/o Madame. Alexander Princess Elizabeth, Mib! Must See
Posted by in madame
Up for your consideration is this all original Madame Alexander Princess Elizabeth doll. She is in her original box with her original tissue paper. The tissue was probably pink at one time, but has faded to a beige. The box measures approximately 17 inches by the 8 inches by 6 inches. The box itself is in remarkably good shape considering its age! There is wear to the blue paper covering that I feel is commensurate with its age. One corner of the top is split and there is a crack across the top. The top is covered with the blue paper and has gold paper covering the sides. Fit for a princess! I think I was the first person to remove her from her box! She was found in a house that was being renovated, still wrapped in wrapping paper and tied up with a string. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and found this! She is just darling and her face is just a bit dirty. There is a slight craze line below her left eye which is visible in the closeup of her face. Any other areas that look as though they have cracks are just an errant hair that I couldn’t move and get to stay! She measures approximately 16 inches in height. Her clothing is still crisp and brightly colored. She has no odor at all. Her wig styling is still good and she has a gold sequined head band, which I assume is supposed to be her Tiara. She still has her little ankle socks and gold Mary Jane shoes. Her wrist tag is still present and attached to her right wrist. She has a Merry Christmas tag attached to her left wrist with red ribbon that says “From Grandma” and has the year 1940 written on it in pencil. I don’t believe that this doll was ever played with. Her skirt still has the original tissue stuffed up into it, just as it was packed at the factory. I have not removed her clothing, as it appears that the clothes have never been disturbed. She is still strung together with what I would assume is her original stringing. Her facial features are beautiful, with multi stroke eyebrows, eyeshadow, delicately painted lower eyelashes, red lips with 4 visible teeth and nice cheek blush. There are some eyelashes missing on her left eye. The irises of her eyes are crazed, probably from being packed away in an area that was not very climate controlled. I’m sure that someone with some skill could replace these. Please look carefully at my photo as they are an important part of my description. This baby is fairly heavy and her original box will be wrapped with cardboard before being put in another box. The item “1940 A/O MADAME. ALEXANDER PRINCESS ELIZABETH, MIB!
