LARGE VINTAGE 26" SUSAN SUSIE STROLLER DOLL SOFT/HARD VINYL JOINTED 1955 EEGEE

Description

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING COMPLETELY & CAREFULLY BEFORE BIDDING!
MAKE AN OFFER-I HAVE 17 WATCHERS BUT NO OFFERS!!!
THIS BIG, SWEET-FACED DOLL WAS PART OF MY STEP-MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S EXTENSIVE COLLECTION.  SHE IS THE 26" VERSION OF THE SUSAN STROLLER DOLL MADE BY EEGEE IN THE MID-1950's, WHICH CAN BE HARD TO FIND.  SHE WAS ALSO MADE IN 19-1/2" AND 23" VERSIONS.  I AM SELLING ANOTHER 26" SUSAN STROLLER DOLL LIKE THIS ONE, WITH DARK BROWN SHORT HAIR, IN SIMILAR CONDITION, IN A SEPARATE LISTING.
SUSAN/SUSIE WEARS A CUTE RED & WHITE CHECKED DRESS THAT SEEMS A BIT LARGE FOR HER, SO IT MAY NOT BE ORIGINAL TO HER.  THE SATIN PANTIES ARE DEFINITELY TOO BIG.  THE LEGGINGS ARE ACTUALLY TWO STRETCH SOCKS THAT WORK WELL AS LEGGINGS.  THE REALLY NICE BLACK PATENT STRAP SHOES ARE ALSO TOO LARGE, BUT ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO LOOK GOOD.
DOLL CONDITION:
THE MEDIUM BROWN ROOTED HAIR IS THICK AND COMPLETE...SLEEP EYES OPEN & CLOSE PERFECTLY...BRUSH LASHES ARE FULL...PAINTED FACIAL FEATURES ARE FRESH AND CLEAR...ARM JOINTS ARE LOOSE, ALTHOUGH I DID RESTRING THEM WITH A NEW BAND.  THERE IS A FINE CRACK ALONG THE RIGHT WRIST (SEE PICTURE--SAME THING ON THE OTHER DOLL).  THERE'S ALSO A FINE CRACK WHERE HER LEFT CLAVICLE BONE ON HER UPPER CHEST WOULD BE, WHICH DOESN'T SHOW WHEN SHE'S DRESSED.  HER LEGS ARE ATTACHED BY A LONG PIN WITH A SCREW END.  THIS IS
NOT
THE VERSION WITH JOINTED KNEES.  THE BLACK SHOES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS IS THE DRESS.  THE ELASTIC IN THE SLEEVES & PANTIES IS LIMP.
WALKING MECHANISM & CRIER
:  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ROUND "VOICE BOX" CAME LOOSE INSIDE THE DOLL AND IS BLOCKING THE METAL MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE LEGS TO MOVE.  I BELIEVE THE LEGS WILL WALK AND HER HEAD WILL TURN, IF YOU CAN GET THE VOICE BOX OUT.  YOU MAY HAVE TO MANGLE IT TO REMOVE IT THROUGH THE LEG OPENING; I'M LEAVING THAT TO THE NEW OWNER.  IT ISN'T WORKING, ANYWAY.  (THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE OTHER SUSAN STROLLER DOLL I AM SELLING.)
MAKE SURE THE HEAD IS SCREWED ON TIGHTLY, SO IT WILL MOVE WHEN SHE WALKS.
I SOAKED AND RINSED THE CLOTHING IN A GENTLE SOAP SOLUTION AND AIR-DRIED IT; NO IRONING.  THIS DOLL HAS A BEAUTIFUL FACE, AND IS IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR HER AGE.  SHE CAN EVEN STAND BY HERSELF, ESPECIALLY WITH BACK SUPPORT.  PLEASE MAKE AN OFFER!
