Vintage Palitoy England 19" Open Mouth With Teeth Plastic Walker Doll W/Earrings

Description

Welcome to my listing where I offer this wonderful, vintage doll by Palitoy.  She was made in England.  Most of these ethnic, black dolls were made in the 1950's.  My first doll was a black Pedigree doll that I received when I lived in England.  This doll is approximately 19" tall.  She is made of hard plastic.  Her walking mechanism works, her mamma box does not. Her head moves from side to side. Her head is not flush with the body.  That is common with these mid-century dolls.  There is separation on the shoulder seams. When I purchased her, many years ago, I was told that this was her original outfit (blue).  It is not in damaged condition.  There is a tear in the skirt & her under blouse.  Her shoes are all scuffed, but are marked Palitoy, so I know they are original. I have dressed her in another dress. Her hair is in good condition.  She has eyelash loss & the iris on one of her eyes is missing.  She has an open mouth with two teeth showing.  She wears big red hoop earrings.  She cannot sit. She is a lovely old doll & would look so much better with a new outfit & someone to love her for another 70 years.
