SALE 12” Arranbee Nancy ~ 1930’s Composition Doll ~ Original Dress & Onesie ~ Adorable

Dolls : Composition

 

This little cutie is R&B’s “Nancy,” manufactured in the 1930’s by the Arranbee Doll Company. She's 12" tall, and is signed on her back, “Arranbee Doll Company.” She is all-composition, and in very good condition for her age. She comes with her original dress and onesie. We added a pair of shoes to her wardrobe. This is her detailed description:

HEAD: Her head’s in excellent condition for the age of the doll. There are no chips or cracks, and little or no visible crazing. There are minor little rubs around her mouth area, and one eyebrow is barely visible. She has blue painted eyes, painted upper eyelashes, and painted eyebrows. Her painted and molded auburn hair has molded waves, comb marks, and little spit curls at the ears.

BODY: The body’s in very good condition. It’s all composition, and is jointed at the shoulders and hips. She has the original blush on her elbows and the tops of her hands. There’s very little crazing. There’s a little chip right where the head and neck meet in the back. (pictured) There are rubs at the neck, hip joints, fingers, and on the toes of the right foot. The thumb and forefinger on her right hand are chipped. (also pictured)

CLOTHES: She’s wearing her original dress and onesie. Her original pink print dress is sturdy, but faded. It’s a high-waisted dress with a large white collar and bands at the armholes. The dress has a little mend in the back. It’s pinned shut, and doesn’t look like it ever had any closures. Her original white onesie has a mend on the bodice, and is fraying at the neck and armholes. The onesie has red trim at the legs. It never had any closures. She lost her original shoes along the way, so we gave her a pair of white vinyl shoes. The shoes are vintage, and are signed “Made in U.S.A., 12.”
