This listing is for one of my dear friends treasured dolls. This is her Jane Withers. Doll by Madame Alexander. So let me tell you what I know about this Jane Withers doll. She was made by Madame Alexander in 1937. She measures 13 inches tall. She is all composition. No markings that I could find. The clothes I do not think are not original. But look appropriate on her. They are home stitched. The wig is mused but full. There are some cracks coming down and going up from her eyes. Her eyes are crackled. There is a hole and a Crack on the back of her leg. There is crazing on her legs. There are some white spots in her face.. Not sure what they are but they are shown in the photos. Socks are replacements but shoes are old. They are worn especially the left one. So while she isn’t a perfect or mint doll she is pretty and displays well. She does have some cracks and crazing. My friend bought her dolls for pleasure and not as an investment… Believed dolls deserve respect for just having survived the years of play and love of their small owners. They brought her such joy and we hope they continue to do so in their new homes. Please ask questions if there is anything I haven’t covered.

These five little dolls were made by Madame Alexander in the 1930′s. They are the DIONNE QUINTUPLETS. They are almost 8 inches tall and made of composition. They are jointed at the neck, shoulders and hips and have painted features and molded, painted hair. They were in a shoe box with a little quilt lining the bottom of the box like they had been in “bed” for years and years. I have gleaned the only set of five matching outfits for them to go to their next home. There are organdy dresses with attached petticoat, with trim in the five colors, matching organdy bonnets with edging, organdy panties with lace trim , and two have shoes (the snaps are gone) with socks. I crocheted the booties for the other three girls. There are no tags on the dresses but I feel sure they are made by Madame Alexander because of the fine needle work, like hem stitching and fine lace. The bibs are another story. There are two that say’Quintot’ , two that say’Yvonne’ and one’Cecile’. You may want to rotate some of them around, I just put them on to match the color best I could. A couple of them may be homemade. The dolls are marked ALEXANDER on their heads and backs. I will describe each separately. Annette – Original yellow shoes, original socks, dress with yellow stitching and attached petticoat, organdy panties, matching organdy bonnet with yellow ribbon. This is the only one that has some crazing on her face and a little on her head. Her bib says Yvonne. Yvonne – white organdy dress with attached petticoat and pink stitching, organdy bonnet with pink ribbon, bib with pink trim and Yvonne name, organdy panties, new pink booties. Marie – white organdy dress with attached petticoat and blue stitching, organdy bonnet with yellow ribbon, bib with green ribbon and’Cecile’ name, organdy panties, new blue booties. Emilie – White organdy dress with attached petticoat and lavender stitching, organdy bonnet with lavender ribbon, bib with lavender stitching’QUINTOT’, organdy panties, new lavender booties. Cecile – White organdy dress with attached petticoat and green stitching, organdy bonnet with yellow ribbon, bib with green stitching’QUINTOT’ , organdy panties, original shoes (no snaps), original socks. These darling dolls will be a wonderful addition to your composition Alexander collection. I will include the shoe box that came with them, their little toy dogs (or some other little animal) that some little mommy made for them from leather and wool and their five doll stands.
