The Birds by Madame Alexander

Her arms are vinyl with a hard plastic under casing, which so makes up the rest of her body. Her wig is glued on and I can read ‘ALEXANDER’ on the back of her neck. Her head and arms seem to be strung by the same elastic? (And it’s very strung out, so help on that would be lovely! I think I can restring similar to a BJD.) Her legs are on a plastic skeleton (that may be slightly out of place?) and her knees are jointed, and can ‘click’ (for lack of a better word) into place. Her feet are flat. She’s very close to 17 inches (43 centimeters) tall. Both eyes open at the same time instead of individually. The weights do their job pretty well still when she’s completely upright.

This Saturday, November 19, 2022 - The Beautiful Cissy Doll and Her Friends Auction. The favorite fashion icon of the mid-1950’s, Cissy by Alexander, with superb examples from the private collection of Kathryn DeFillipo, Merle Glickman, and others. https://theriaults.proxibid.com/Theriault-s/The-Beautiful-Cissy-Doll-and-Her-Friends-Auction/event-catalog/231416 https://www.theriaults.com
