Madame Alexander-kins 7 1/2″ Early SLNW “Strung (1953). This is an early Madame Alexander-kins doll with a Straight Leg Non-Walker (SLNW) strung body, produced in 1953. 7 1/2 inches tall (commonly categorized as an 8-inch Alexander-kins). Straight leg, non-walker (SLNW), strung body. Sleep eyes: fully functional. Hair color: Blonde, with beautiful natural sheen and luster. Early 1953 SLNW bodies were produced in limited numbers. Compared to later versions, this early body has a noticeably heavier feel, a known characteristic of early production examples. Original factory face paint: beautifully preserved. Lips: Vivid red with a lovely coral undertone. Please note that the paint along the lip line is slightly irregular and not perfectly smooth. This is a minor factory-related detail visible only under magnification (not a physical chip). Face: There is a very slight, tiny indentation on the right temple. Cheeks: Soft, original cheek color remains in generally good condition. Eyes: Clear and bright with smooth open/close movement. Dress: Original red and white polka dot dress in excellent condition. It has been carefully wrapped in paper and stored for a long period, so the fabric shows some natural storage folds/creasing. Original red button-strap shoes. Please note there is some scuffing on the soles due to age/display. This is a vintage, all-original doll in excellent overall condition. While it shows the minor age-related/factory characteristics mentioned above. It remains a remarkable example for a doll over 70 years old.
