Description: Please subscribe to my YouTube channel, "Sugary Mess!", and join me on my treasure hunting adventures! Vintage PRE-1943 NASB Doll #131 - Elsie Marley Elsie Marley's grown up so fine ~ She won't get up till eight or nine.According to a website regarding the history of Nancy Ann Storybook dolls, "All of those from the 1930's through 1942 had jointed (moving) arms and legs." This is one of them! "The dolls were strung with a simple piece of elastic passed through holes in the limbs and tied together. Over time, this elastic tends to dry out and break." There are no issues with this doll's moving parts. :) "After 1942, Nancy Ann dolls were made with straight, rigid legs that did not allow the doll to sit down. Collectors call these frozen-legged or stiff-legged dolls. The stiff-legged dolls are much more common as well as being more recently produced, and therefore not as valuable today as the earlier dolls with jointed legs." "Elsie Marley" will come to you in good vintage condition and in her original box. The pamphlet, listing the dolls at that time, is also included. The box and pamphlet show age related wear. Her dress has some discoloration and is wrinkled from being stored so long. Like a lot of these dolls, there is some staining on the side of her face from where the wig glue was applied. There is also light paint wear on her shoes. Please zoom in and review all photos closely for the best description of this item. She measures 5" tall and is made of bisque porcelain.I use the eBay shipping calculator, for shipping costs, to ship from 63123. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Most of the items I sell come from estate sales or my own personal collections.
