TLC Vintage Travel Doll Spain Spanish Souvenir Doll 1960 Charming

Description

In this listing we have a somewhat TLC, but super charming little souvenir doll. This little cutie stands around 6 inches tall. She has a very classic souvenir doll look. I believe she represents Spain. She is articulated at the shoulders and hips. She has glued on black hair (which has started to lift showing her molded hair underneath), painted green eyes, and the most dramatic eyebrows! She has a lovely dress with a black bodice and a full skirt made of up of rows of lace and green ribbon. Her dress is permanently attached. She has a real metal hoop earring and a metal cross necklace. Based on the items that came with her, she is from the mid 1960’s and was most likely made or assembled in Spain. However, those are just guesses since she doesn’t have any visible markings.
This doll is in very TLC shape. She’s really cute, but has a lot of issues. For starters her hair is staring to come unglued from her head. It is also staring to break down and she is shedding. I am not sure how well her hair will last over time. It might be more broken down from when this listing was written (10/18/2020) so be careful. Her red hair decoration is frayed and wrinkled. Her light tan veil is torn at the top in the back and there’s several small holes going down the back. She is missing one of her earrings. Her earring and cross are pretty tarnished. Her face paint is pretty worn in a couple spots. It’s also pretty sloppy. She is not the best quality of doll. Her dress is a little dirty and dingy in a couple places. On her right hand it looks that the plastic is reacting with something and starting to melt. Her legs have come off and one side looks to be broken. The paint for her shoes is also pretty sloppy. One of her legs have melting on the hip and the front of the leg at the calf. It seems to be reacting with her skirt material and has melted into the fabric in one spot. Her skirt is very wrinkled. She’s got a lot of issues, but I think she is super cute and would be good for restoration. Please examine all pictures to see the exact condition of this doll and please keep in mind some issues are more visible in person compared to pictures.
