Age has definitely not been on this dolls side. But it shows it has been saved and now has prospect for a new life. It needs some cleaning and the face is cracked and has been reglued very well. Other than the discolorations I feel this was the best job that could have been done at the time to save the doll. The eyes are great. The weight in the head indise make the eyes open and close as you move the head up and down. The head also has a great set of upper teeth that look so childlike and they are unbroken.This is a definite step back in time and a great piece to own restore and talk about..
