Very beautiful set of 1935 Madame Alexander 7 Dionne Quintuplets with molded hair and painted faces. Their arms, legs, and heads are all jointed. The stringing is nice and tight. The dolls are not at all “floppy”. They come in their original wicker basket with peach satin bedding, pillow and mattress pad. Each is wearing one of 5 matching satin peach one piece outfits with crocheted lace trim. Also included are 5 flannel robes and 5 bibs embroidered with the Quints names Emelie, Yvonne, Cecile, Marie, and Annette and a vintage white and pink blanket. Each doll is marked “ALEXANDER” on the back of both the head and body. These have been lovingly stored for many, many years in the home of the original owner (my mother-in-law). Not in the hot attic or in the cold damp basement but always with her. There are no odors of any kind. She says the dolls, basket, outfits, pillow and mattress pad all originally came together. Later she added the flannel robes and blanket, and just a few years ago she bought the newly made bibs with their names for them. The dolls are in nearly excellent condition with no composition crazing. One doll has some rough composition on her arm and shoulder. They do have a few paint mars and scratches, but not many. One has a reddish brown tiny spot about 1/16th inch on the back of her leg. There are also a few dimples, or indents that seem to be marks left behind from the manufacturing process. Please use the magnifying photo feature to see their condition and if you would like more pictures than I could fit in please let me know. The wicker of the basket is in pretty sturdy shape for its age. The lid is no longer attached, and the leather strap fasteners no longer work, but the handle on top is fine. She even saved the few little pieces of wicker that have snapped off. They are in a tiny baggie inside the basket. The pink satin lining is trimmed with white lace but the satin has some water stains on it. This set was played with she says. The pillow and mattress pad have some tiny holes. The 5 peach outfits are all in Very Good condition with no holes, stains, or tears.. But they do have a little minor fraying at seam edges. The bibs are brand new and crisp and have never even been tied on the dolls. The flannel robes are also good but one has some spots on the arm that I didn’t try to wash but it looks like they will come out with a light soak. The yellow robe has a little unraveling at the back of the neck. Of the 2 books included, one, copyrighted in 1935 has many pictures of the quints as babies, and gives much information about the babies growth and how they were raised. The other book, copyrighted in 1938 shows pictures of the quints playing at toddler and preschool ages set to popular nursery rhymes of the period. Both books are in nice condition. They have wear marks on the cover, binding and edges, but the pages are not brittle and there is no musty smell. I have done my best to describe everything but it is always possible that I may have missed something. If you have any questions please ask. I will be happy to describe further or send more photos.
