According to Linda Crowseys Madame
Alexander's Doll book her value is between
$525.00 - $1,100.00. Please see an
image from her book below. Her books
are available on Ebay and Amazon.
This
doll came to use with all she is suppose to
have except a corsage, hosiery, original box and hang
tags. I am not yet sure about her bra. In our
restoration of her clothing we added and
made to fit a vintage bra of that same time
period. It has been cleaned from a
personal doll of my own, however the photos
make it look dingy. We did not have
hose and still do not know if she was
suppose to have them.
Her
shoes are very much her original and you can
see in her Nude photos the original elastic
that was on them. I say "Was on
them" because they are now in a
separate plastic sealed bag for you to have
and not on the shoes. We almost went
more insane than we are as she constantly
was falling off of the little and very high
"High Heels" They are in
excellent condition but the elastic was so
stretched out, the shoes would not stay in her... so
we added on top of the original a strip
shaped to fit Velcro and new white
elastic. You can replace our effort
with the original elastic if you need
to. We also put Velcro on the bottom
of the heels to make her stationery.
It is not a good idea to have your expensive
doll fall off of her doll stand from time to
time.
Her
hair is beautiful and is weaved like Madame
Alexander's doll wigs are normally on
top. I noticed the bottom row of
stitching on her neck is missing a few
strands of hair but that in no way prevented
us from working her hair into the elegant do
that she has now. Her veil is nice and
the flowers are the original All
clothing has been cleaned and pressed.
I am hoping that you realize that this doll
is 49 years old and I stand amazed that she
is still in this wonderful
condition.
Her
body is completely re-strung with our
Elastic Cord (Large) tubing. Her
stringing is tight, however, as you notice,
we have posed her head in very nice poses,
we get that ability by slacking the head
stringing a tiny bit. Her face and arms are
vinyl and are colored the same.
Her
little feet are jointed and I am not sure
about this but it looks as if a teeny area
of her two right toes have had a tiny hot
whatever on them to melt the vinyl. I
barely noticed it until I had the battle
with her shoes. The toes are still very much
there. I did not even take a photo of
them because you just cannot see them that
well...I have reduced the asking price to
cover these little flaws.
Her
dress is as well made as any expensive
wedding gown is today, I stand amazed.
Everything is lines...No spots or tears
except age fading here and there. I
also noticed on her left shoulder area in
the front that you may need to tack the lace
under the strap are a the top. You can
see it in the photos. Other than that,
the dress is old but in good
condition. The petticoat's elastic
waist band has loosened with age like the
shoes elastic did, so I took white string
thread an gathered it at the waist to keep
the petticoat on her in display. I
knew that the new owner would not want that
original elastic replaced. Her panties
are in wonderful condition. All is satin
except the petticoat. Nice Petticoat.
My
favorite is her ring...Wow, tiniest little
ring I have ever had the pleasure of playing
with as I cleaned it, not rusty, not
scratched, looks brand new.
She
comes to you with everything you see on her
including her new doll stand with a Velcro
mat to keep her stabilized. We will
ship her in our 26X13X11 inch doll box with
lid and ribbons in plain sight on the
outside of the box to make it appear as a
gift.
Please
feel free to ask us any questions.
