Gorgeous 1957 Cissy To Dress Excellent Condition
Posted by in gorgeous
She has a glowing complexion and complete features. Eyes are sparkling, true blue. Late 1956 through 1957 was the period of time during which the Alexander company transitioned from painted hard plastic (thermoset) to pre-colored rigid vinyl thermoplastic. Cissy is typical of the era. Her head is the new hard plastic, her torso the old formula. The necks of these dolls often do not fit into the head opening as well as we’d like. She is otherwise excellent. Her flexible vinyl arms are a good match to the other plastics she is composed of. No splits, no odors. Her legs hold positions. Note one wrist shows evidence of her having worn a bracelet. Stains can be removed from flexible vinyl with patience. Her wig is smooth and full. Probably once in a chignon, it is now free in back. There is some wig glue residue the ear tops and back of neck. Possible she started life in one of the wigs with curls around the neck rather than the up-swept style she now wears. It still has the spanner bar, the original cobblers’ string, and all the stitching is whole. Lashes are long, full, and straight. Lids are not scratched.
