From an estate collection, here is a vintage Tiny Tears Doll. Made in 1959-60 by American Character. Marked on neck. She is 13'' high with a hard plastic head and vinyl baby body.
She has a cute face with nice coloring and original paint, blue sleep eyes w/intact lashes and tear ducts in the corners. Her eyes have the Rock-O-Bye feature. As she's rocked from side to side, her eyes slowly close. This works fine. Also an open nurser mouth.
Her hair is auburn saran, rooted in a wig cap. The plugs are pretty much all there. Just minor age wear on top.
The body is clean and sturdy, jointed at the neck, shoulders & hips. Her little wetting hole is in the back. She has just a tiny bit of damage on the ends of a couple fingers. Her toes are fine.
Tiny Tears wears a christening gown her owner created for her several years ago. This includes a long ivory lace ruffled gown, worn over a silky petticoat, with a matching ruffled bonnet, all decorated with pink ribbons. Plus sheer white panties and ruffled socks. The gown is beautifully made, in pristine condition, and looks adorable on the doll!
She was kept in a glass cabinet and is clean, dust, and odor free.

Most of the dolls we sell are 50 to 150 years old. It can be difficult to describe every smudge, mark, loose snap, scratch or other minor age issue. We do the best we can to give accurate descriptions and we add multiple large photos to each listing which show the doll's condition. We accept returns but we ask you to please review the photos before buying. If you are using a smartphone you may need to zoom in to the photos to see them in detail.
Thank you for looking.
