1953 Madame Alexander Glamour Girl Maggie 18″ Walker Doll ALL ORIG Beauty

by

1953 M.A. 2

We are delighted to be offering a very hard to find 1953 Madame Alexander Maggie face Glamour Girl 18″ walker doll, # 2010C. She is a true beauty, with only issue being the areas of her body that have been exposed (arms, neck, chest) have faded from original color as shown in photos, so her coloring is uneven. Taffeta skirt has a few small spots, otherwise dress is excellent..

  • Hair is nearly factory-new, walker mechanism is excellent, tiny red speck on chin that I did not try to remove.
  • Flowers on hat and waist are excellent, not flattened. Just beautiful. 
  • Outfit includes: Tagged pink tafetta gown with black velvet bodice, net hat with silk flowers,hoop petticoat with attached bloomers, nylons and shoes – all original.

Hoop itself is somewhat out of round but I did not try to straighten. Black veil was found with her; I do not know if it original but will be included. No hat box.

Please look at all of our M.A. Dolls in our connectibles ebay store.

Back has a facsimile of a wax seal on an envelope with the number 1937 embossed.

  • Closes all the way, but will not stay closed and clasped.  Cream color enamel has some marks and irregularities around the borders but nothing that seriously detracts. Mild wear to the lettering.

pugWe’re delighted to be offering a group of completed Elizabeth Bradley English tapestry kits from her Victorian Animals series. BEAUTIFULLY hand done, the needlepoint quality is outstanding. Instant handcrafted gallery for your home!  New kits alone are $230, mounting and framing easily $200, and then there’s the hours and hours of needlepointing to bring these to you ready to hang.cat

Each has been professionally framed under glass with an elegant rich burl wood frame, and measure 19″ x 19″.  Frames are excellent but somebody piled these on top of each other to transport them so there are a few areas of scratch marks on each from the screws that touched them.

These beautiful needlepoints are available in our ebay store connectibles.
