Wonderful example of an unusual American Character Sweet Sue 21" doll.
Only made 1955-1956, she is hard plastic but has vinyl arms jointed at elbows, and HP legs jointed above the knee. Walker but head does not turn.
She's in very good to excellent overall condition with lovely face paint and an upswept chignon hairstyle with rooted saran hair in a vinyl skull cap. Sleep eyes work fine, a few lashes are missing.
She's wearing a vintage untagged dress with white snaps (missing part of top snap), white vintage bloomers, and what I believe are her original satin front snap shoes which show some age wear. Bonus vintage wrist watch on elastic.
She is oh-so slightly tipped to one side.
Lovely addition to your Sweet Sue collection, clean and very pretty.
Please see photos.
I entrusted my mother and father's (Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz) memorabilia to Connectibles, and during the entire evaluation and auction process, never for a moment did I feel anything less than completely confident, protected and guided by experienced and compassionate professionals who love what they do. We got wonderful results and the best part... it was great fun!"
