Horsman Life-like 20" Fairy Skin Doll

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This adorable fairy-faced doll is a Horsman doll, for which I was unable to determine the specific doll, but believe she is a fairy skin doll made in the mid-1950s, making her approximately 69 years old at the time of this writing. She measures approximately 20 inches tall and is marked “Horsman” on the back of her neck. She has a vinyl swivel head, jointed arms and stuffed one-piece fairy skin body, deeply molded painted wavy light strawberry brown pig-tailed hair, painted eyebrows, real eyelashes on top with painted eyelashes on the bottom, beautiful big blue eyes, a little button nose, closed mouth and rosy cheeks. She has a squeaker on her back and if you squeeze the doll, she “cries” but it sounds more like a bleating sound than a baby. She is in fairly good condition for her age, but has rubs and scuffs here and there and needs to be cleaned. Her skin has an orange-ish tint to it from age, which is normal for these dolls. She is missing some of her eyelashes on her left eyelid, has dimples on the back of her heels, jointed arms are stuck and it appears as if her left arm may have been glued on at some point? Also, and I could kick myself for this, I sat her on a varnished book shelf for display and, over the years, the varnish transferred to the back of her fairy skin legs in a circular pattern and thin line (see pictures). She comes wearing a beautiful pastel purple long sleeve floral print dress with eyelet trimmed “built-in” half slip and adorned with two buttons on the front bodice, white ribbon tie, white lacy trimmed panties, white lace trimmed socks, and white Mary Jane-style shoes with white bows on the elastic band to complete her outfit. Sold as is; no returns; no refunds. Rocker not included.
