Vintage Madame Alexander Cissy Scarlett #2240 of 1961
I don't think this doll has ever been played with or undressed. Her dark hair is in the original style and in very good condition. Her sleep eyes work properly and her eyebrows are well defined. She has a billowing crinoline petticoat, white taffeta lace-trimmed panties. Seamed stockings and beautiful shoes.
Her gown is blue taffeta and it is lined in white. It also is very full. It has a jacket which fastens at the waist.
The gown and jacket are trimmed in black braid. At her waist is a pendant watch.
Cissy has a matching bonnet which is also trimmed in black, ties with black ribbon, and has pink flowers, tulle and feather trim. She is wearing black lace mitts, has rhinestone earrings, a ring and she carries a black velveteen and braid drawstring handbag.
Her nails are painted a pretty pink. She is rare and wonderful, but there is a problem.
When I bought her from the original owner I was well aware of the problem, but it didn't matter. After all, when would I see another without spending a fortune? So, here goes - someone was painting and neglected to cover her; therefore, there is some white paint on her outfit.
The worse one is the one on the front of the skirt which I have shown in my pix. I have shown it both showing and covered in the folds of the gown. There is another on the back of her jacket that is about l/4 in length. I have also shown that.
In addition there are a few pinhead size. There are no spots on her bonnet. Perhaps I have made her sound dreadful, but I have had her a very long time and have always been pleased with her.
