Description: A lovely 8” Madame Alexander #560 Canada in box with wrist tag from the International Doll Series, ca. 1979, from Snowdrift Antiques.The Alexander Doll Company was founded in 1923 by Beatrice Alexander, aka Madame Alexander, and is still in operation today in New York, NY USA. The Alexander-Kins, Wendy, Wendy-Kins dolls, which are 7 1/2 - 8" tall, used the Wendy face mold from 1954-1994. Many of these dolls are either unmarked or marked ALEXANDER or ALEX.This is a very pretty 8” Madame Alexander doll dressed in a Canadian traditional outfit, #560. She has brown sleep eyes that open and shut with ease. Her black hair is in its original set with bags in front and a flip curl at her neck. Her face has lovely painted features, I found no marks or rubs and her cheek blush is bright after all these years. She has that sweet Madame Alexander Wendy face lip pucker.She is a strung plastic doll with a socket head, and jointed arms and straight legs. The mark on her back reads: ALEXANDER. The rubber bands used to string her are still holding her limbs and head on tightly so she was not restrung.Her cotton dress is a green calico print with white trim around her neck and sleeve hems. She also has a navy taffeta collar that closes in front with a snap and a matching navy apron with red and yellow vertical trim down that ties in back. The dress is tagged in back with a label that reads: “Canada” / by MADAME ALEXANDER / New York, USA. The dress closes with two snaps in back. The outfit is clean and crisp, looks like she was never played and spent most of her years protected in her box.On her head she sports a bright white cotton bonnet with a lace accent at the front brim. It is held to her head with white cotton ties. Her under garments consist of white cotton pantaloons with lace trim at the hems and a white cotton underskirt with lace trim at the hem and a row of ruffled netting to hold the dress out wide. She wears white hose that go over her knees and black faux suede slip on shoes decorated with two gold beads.She retains her original wrist tag tied to her left wrist; it has a copyright date of 1979.Her Madame Alexander blue box is labeled CANADA 560. It is in excellent condition with light wear on the edges and only a slight indent on each side of the base. It retains the inner neck brace to hold her in place when boxed. The lid has a remnant of the original price tag.This precious little Madame Alexander Canadian doll is looking for her new home, will it be yours?
