This is a 12\" vintage hard plastic Catholic nun doll typically produced between the 1940s and 1960s, featuring blue sleepy eyes, painted lashes and a traditional black-and-white habit with a crucifix and golden waist cord.
• Attire: The doll is dressed in a traditional, full-length black habit paired with a white vinyl wimple, matching white bib (collar), and a silky draped black veil.
• Accessories: A prominent gold-tone crucifix rosary hangs directly down the front from her waist cord.
• Physical Features: She features mid-century styling, highlighted by classic painted facial features, dark eyelashes, vivid red lips, and distinct blue \"sleep eyes\" that open and close when tilted.
Condition
the doll appears to be in good vintage condition overall, especially considering its age.
• Habit and Veil: The black fabric of the habit and veil retains a deep, dark color with minimal fading. The edges of the veil display clean, crisp pinked (zigzag) cuts with no obvious fraying.
• Wimple and Bib: The white pieces are relatively bright and well-fitted. There are no major dark stains.
• Rosary Cord: The gold cord holding the crucifix remains intact and structurally sound.
• Posture: The doll stands straight, indicating that internal wiring, standard stands, or plastic composition joints are still holding up well.
• Face and Paint: The facial paint is exceptionally well-preserved. The red lipstick and painted eyelashes are sharp, vibrant, and free of visible scuffs or flaking.
• Eyes: The \"sleep eyes\" are properly aligned and clean, and their internal mechanics (how smoothly they open and close) is verified.
• Crucifix: The gold-tone cross maintains a nice luster and does not show significant signs of heavy oxidation, green tarnish, or rust.
She has a musty scent from storage. Im sealing her in a box with baking soda to absorb as much of it as I can. She may need longer when you receive her.
