The Photos Make The
Story.
We
are planning to restore this little beauty (Pam's
Ideal Saucy -16" #2) back to her her similar original
look of 56 years ago.
------------ Pam:
Eye repair completed no more scratches and new set
of eyelashes replaced on right eye. Not as
wide as the right but so much better as they are
inside the eye ball, not glued on the outside like
she came to us. In addition...there was not just one
metal piece that had come apart from the eye ball
but two, we repaired them and secured the eyes
better. They should not have e tendency to
cross now. The 16" Saucy Walker Dolls are
the hardest to work on in eye repair so we do not
welcome another job like we just did with open arms.
Ha! The 22" Saucy Walker eye repair are
more complicated but we have done so many those type
eyes are easier for us. Her
dress and Pinafore don't appear to be the original
but they are adorable and in good shape. The
pinafore straps were made a bit too long so we
folded them at the waist a pinned them for
display. You will more than likely want to
have Lois make another little outfit for her when
she gets back home to you. Her
hair has been washed and conditioned, re-styled and
her plastic has been sanded for the soft appearance
and her walking mechanism saturated in the Heavy
Silicone Spray. She can walk. We
re-strung her arms with our Surgical Elastic Cord
Tubing and they are tight. We sealed the
little crack in her neck seam with our plastic
compound but the Saucy Blend paint that we have is a
lighter color. We decided not to use it.
May original Saucy Dolls have seams darkened and
unpainted. Goes with the age of the doll. We
are including the ribbons, socks, hang tag and doll
Kaiser Doll stand, once it arrives here. We
took the little panties your first 16" Saucy
had on and added it to this doll. The ones she
had on fits the 22" Saucy Walker. We will
add those to her box as well. This
little beauty has been through a lot of fixing but
she turned out adorable regardless. Great
little doll for your ever growing (giggle)
collection. |
