Mattel ’87 Baby Heather Talk Artificial Intelligence Doll Lifelike Vtg VIDEO 21
Absolutely remarkable Mattel ’87 Baby Heather doll from 1987. A little bit unusual to see her in action at first, and then she gets even more adorable! Wonderful working condition, complete with batteries that are currently working but you may need to replace. Watch video below of her talking while laying down; if she sits up or you hold her, her head moves back and forth too.
Pre-loved unusual Baby Heather 1987 doll from Mattel, called the “state-of-the-art talking doll with artificial intelligence.” Only made for short period of time, hard to find. 
- Doll grows smarter from 6 months to 1 year to 2 years old, responds differently every time you play with her. As an infant she cries, hiccups, burps, sleeps. Starts talking at age 1 and more so at age 2.

- She says “Baby get up” “Up, Mama Up”, “I Love You”, “Let’s Play” “I am Pretty” “Walk Mama” “Peekaboo” among many, many other things. Tickle her and she giggles, “feed her” by placing any toy bottle or cup or even your finger on her mouth and she stops crying if she’s hungry.
- She works beautifully as you can see in our video below; if she’s sitting up she turns her head back and forth and even asks to go “walking” as a 2 year old.
- Original instruction book which is so necessary to fully understand her potential! Some creases and wear, but complete.
- She comes with her original bonnet and romper as well as a bonus romper; all very good to excellent.

From the internet research: “It cannot be ruled out that Ezan glass was produced at Choisy-le-Roi, where the finest quality of French opalescent glass of its era was produced. It only takes one look at the opalescent glass by Ezan, to know that it is a glass of undeniable quality and is `up there’ with the likes of Etling, Verlys, and even Lalique.”
Ezan was best known for their production of Art Deco opal table lamps, sconces and chandeliers, but offered very few bowl patterns. Our “Fleur” bowl pattern is one of the harder to find designs, making it even more collectible. Ezan France Antique Opalescent Art Deco.

Your Guide to Buying Vintage Womens Hats
What Makes a Hat Vintage?
The designation vintage carries with it much more than simply being old. Vintage certainly conveys a specific era of creation. Yet while some apply the term vintage as simply a reference to the year in which a hat was made, as in a vintage 1955 hat, a hat generally acquires the label of vintage if it is at least 20 years old and is a representative example of the era in which it was made.
Moreover, like antique hats, which are at least 100 years old, vintage hats portray a bit of history. The fabric, decorations, or lack thereof, and the size and shape of the hat are often definitive of a period of time, marking a hat as vintage. So, for example, the pillbox hat of the early 1960s reflects the formal style of that period just as the military influence on women’s hats of the 1940s reflect the events of that era.
The style of a particular designer is another identifying feature that distinguishes a hat as vintage. As each notable designer created hats during a particular time span only, and in a very characteristic manner as well, these hats are indicative of the period, making them vintage.
Why Buy Vintage Women’s Hats
The reasons for buying vintage hats are numerous and based on individual preference. For collectors, the worth of vintage hats may be in their embellishments, which often evoke a unique aspect of the hat’s era. Another highlight for collectors is in the fame of the hat’s designer, with the value of designer hats determined in part by the designer’s renown and in equal measure by the rarity of the hat’s design. The simple desire to add a new element to an existing collection frequently presents an additional reason for collectors to purchase vintage hats.
For those making a fashion purchase for their own use, one consideration is that vintage hats offer craftsmanship in the construction and details of the designs that is difficult to find in contemporary hats. An additional factor for those planning to wear the vintage hat is the ability to purchase a hat that is one of a kind, thereby making a personal fashion statement.
Furthermore, for those interested in environmental factors, the green aspect of purchasing a vintage hat, rather than a new one, is an advantage that represents a form of recycling. This is another reason that both collectors and fashion enthusiasts purchase vintage hats.
