Item:
Sweet vintage Madame Alexander Alexander-Kins Russian doll in her original tagged outfit.
Manufacturing wording on doll's back reads: ALEX.
Doll is made of hard plastic. She's also a walker doll (head turns from side to side when doll's legs are moved back and forth). Walker mechanism works. Doll is jointed at head, shoulders, hips and has bending knees (which still work). She has sleep eyes (not sure of the color - to me, it looks like a gray or green shade) with black hard plastic eyelash ridges. Both eyes open / close fine and have the typical "flutter" action of Alexander-kins of this era. Her other facial features are painted (brown brows, painted under lashes, cheek blush and closed red lips). She wears her original brunette wig and has retained her original metal hoop earrings.
Doll comes to you clad in her original outfit, which is tagged on dress. Tag is white with blue lettering and reads: "Russian" / by Madame Alexander ® / New York, U.S.A.
Outfit includes: White and red dress (with lace at neckline & sleeves) - fastens in back with 2 metal snaps (both intact/work) - White apron with red & white trim - fastens in back with fabric ties. - White petticoat with lace trim (elastic waist) - White pantaloons with lace trim (elastic waist) - One pair of red boots with brown soles.
Listing for Alexander Russian doll in original outfit as shown - No stand, mfg box / packaging or other items included.
Condition:
Doll and outfit in nice basic condition, but not perfect, as vintage  / previously owned, thus sold "as is".
DOLL - She has soiling from age / display. Facial features look nice, as do lids and eyelash ridges ( Her brows are a little faded though and her cheek blush is almost worn away and now rather faint).Eyes open / close fine and do their little "flutter" thing that dolls of this era do. There's some factory glue residue around ears / sides & back of head from where wig was glued in place.
She has factory seams on head - there's a teensy bit of unevenness in seam on sides of head with some factory roughness / unevenness on neck opening edges. Head sticks up on doll in back because she's a walker.
Wig is mussed and flattened from being stored away, with some "flyaway" strands. While her little braid is intact, it has a tendency to slide off head and is held in place by metal bobbie pins added by former owner. There's also "flyaway" strands.
Walking mechanism works fine, as do bending knees, although the head only does a modest turning from side to side. Doll has factory seams, there may possibly be a little factory sprue (bits of excess plastic) here and there and on fingers. All fingers & toes intact. Doll may have some minor scratches, scuffs or soiling on her hard plastic. She can't stand on her own (needs a doll stand for that, which isn't included).
No perfume, air freshener or smoke scents.
OUTFIT - Garments all have soiling from age, white garments have aged to a sort of tea tone. All clothing wrinkled with loose hanging threads, there may be some fraying here and there. Elastic on petticoat very stretched out. Elastic on pantaloons also stretched out some. Boots have some wear and loose hanging threads or bits sticking out. Soles have some wear / fading / minor rumples. May be tarnish on metal snaps. No perfume, air freshener or smoke scents.
Please note:
Colors of doll / outfit in person may differ somewhat from listing photos, as all computer monitors have color differences. We leave any restoration, cleaning, hair styling, etc. of doll / outfit to you.
