An identical example oF this doll can be seen in "Dolls and Accessories of the 1930s and 1940s" on page 92. NO ODORS OF ANY KIND!            Though speculation is that these unmarked dolls were produced by Ideal, a company who supplied dolls to many other distributors, including Mme Alexander, the face mold definitely resembles those of Arranbee Debu-teen.  Miss Curity's body is just as wonderful as her face.  No joint rub, no crazing, no stains, no fading, no discoloration.                               The only flaw is a narrow line around one knee.  It's surely hard to work long hours on your feet every day.  Leatherette shoes have metal grommets and ties.  They are identical to those on the mint example in the book.  Undergarments are a crudely finished but crisp cotton onesie and half slip, both of which fasten with safety pins.   LENIENT LAYAWAY - PLEASE INQUIRE All questions are invited.  Those asked before the final day are guaranteed an answer.  Later ones attempted.      INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME! - TO COUNTRIES IN EUROPE AND ASIA $35.
