20" Composition & cloth Baby doll with rubber hands  A beautiful restoration. Restoration information is in the text Below. Make sure to READ it as the information explains the details and represents part of the overall description. When restoring these 75 year old + dolls, great care is taken in having them look like they did when they were mint & new. Color is vibrant, features are complete and great effort has been taken to replicate the originality from the factory. This is a Rarer Baby Doll. She has the most darling yawning smile and two little teeth. Strawberry molded hair. The sleep eyes are blue tin and sleep independently from each other. She has the metal tongue attached to her teeth still intact. This doll was created By Bernard Lipfert for the Ideal Doll company. She was made 1933-34 timeline. I have included a pic from the Ideal doll book for ID. This baby is not marked. No other company used this face mold and most have never seen one.   Her cloth Body is not perfect, but still intact. The crier does not work all of the time. Her rubber hands have been glazed & sealed and should not deteriorate like they normally do. She is dressed in a lavender/pink organdy dress with matching bonnet. Cute little knit sweater and good leather vintage shoes. She has a slip and panties as well. Clothing are very nice. (I made the dress & Bonnet out of 30's era Organdy and cotton trims)  Insurance will be included with the Priority shipping quoted.
Please look at all the pictures. There are good & clear close-ups. The item has been photographed well. The pictures are part of the description & support both the description and condition of the item. You have the option to use the magnification feature as well. As shown.

RESTORATION INFO:

Sometimes these 50-80 year old dolls just don’t survive the test of time very well. Restoration is needed. Finding a skilled restorationist is as hard to find as the rare doll itself. Doll Hospitals and restorers can charge $12.00-$15.00 per inch and this does not even include wigs or clothes! This is a ART. A labor of love & mostly a lot of sanding. With these collectible pieces, I have done my best to keep the doll looking as original as possible when the doll was factory made. With that being said, These are still Vintage & Antique dolls. Composition especially has a lot of factory nuances that other materials do not have. The doll will not be over strung.

This doll has been repaired if needed, and eyes will be clear and a appropriate color. There will be no missing fingers or toes. I use paints which are very similar to the ones used by the factory. The overhaul process includes stripping, filling, sanding, priming, airbrush painting, hand painted features & sealing. I pay special attention to the faces and they are completely smooth. I have been a skilled Artist all my life. My attention to detail of the painted features is expert. To see PHOTOS of my PRIOR restorations see my face book page: The Sewing Doll
