These “Dionne Quintuplet” dolls were made by Madame Alexander in the 1930′s!! They are the rare-hard to find 10 composition dolls that have the movable joints. They have the original dresses and bibs with their names-each with their own color weaved in!! The underwear and slips may also be original, but I’m not sure on that! They are marked Madame Alexander on their upper backs and “Dionne” on the back on the neck accept for Emilie-just marked Madame Alex. There are many photos of the actual quints in this book! The dolls have incurred damage, being over 80 years old!! The hair was repainted on two of them where the paint had rubbed off. Some of the heads have some cracking and crazing and there is paint loss and cracking in various areas. The stringing on each is intact!! All of their eyes still open and close! I’ll describe in detail each doll, and you can visibly see in the photos most of it. “Annette”-paint is worn off some in the back of her hair, slight crazing on her head, finger tips worn, paint off big toes and some on legs. “Cecile”-hair has been repainted, paint loss on back of head and neck and ear. Some rubs and paint off toes and fingers and nose. Vertical cracks in eye sockets. “Emilie”-pretty good shape-just a little paint off back of hair on neck, little cracking on toes. “Marie”-light surface crack on one side of face and one on top of head, crazing behind left ear, 1 crack in eye socket. “Yvonne”-has repainted hair and major crack in the head that looks repaired-it’s stable. Lots of paint loss around back of head, some on the arm, legs and toes, as well as tip of nose. Please feel free to request more pictures of any of the dolls, as I could only post 12 pics. Even though these dolls show wear from their age and have been well-loved- they are still really adorable and collectible, and are a great survival!! It’s a wooden vintage baby bed with mattress!
