Vtg Annalee Mobilitee Green Elf 22" Doll 1971 Christmas Striped Shelf Sitter USA

Description: Vintage Annalee Mobilitee Green Elf 22" Christmas Doll This doll can make for a very unique Elf on a Shelf. The doll has blue eyes and a puckered mouth with a look of surprise. The doll's head has a green stocking cap with a tuft of white hair peeking out above the forehead. The doll has a green collar, red-and-white striped shirt front and red boots. These are all sewn in place and are not removeable. Annalee Mobilitee dolls have a bendable wire frame and a felt body. The wire frame makes the doll posable. It appears that our relative had the doll posed to sit on a shelf or edge of a table. We've left the doll in that pose (see photos). Made in USA. Prior to 2002, Annalee Mobilitee dolls were made entirely in New Hampshire. After 2002, production was outsourced overseas. No paper tag or stand is included. The seam tag (see photos #13 & 14) is marked 1971. Our research indicates that date referred to the year of initial design. It does not necessarily mean the date of manufacture, so we'd date the doll more generally to the 1970's, which would make it around fifty years old. Our relative had stored the doll for years in a bin with a few other Annalee dolls and some other vintage Christmas decorations. Additionally, the doll was individually protected in a loose bag that was taped closed. As a result of the care taken with it, it appears to be in very good condition. We found no fading, wear or tear on the doll. We did notice some age (yellow) spots on the striped shirt front (see photos #3 & #4). There's also a dark spot along the inner seam of the left leg (see photo # 6). We did not notice any dirt or dust on the back, bottom or feet of the doll. Please closely review the photos for condition. Please note that due to the lighting used to better capture details and condition, we found that the colors in the photos are a bit more vibrant than they are in reality. The doll comes from the smoke-free home of a close relative. Because this is a collectible doll, it will be packed with extra care. homelyhomevintage Welcome to our store. Thank you for visiting.
