Description: Unusual Antique / Vintage Doll Pair One of a Kind Pair of Twin Dolls ~ One Boy and One Girl in Matching Outfits I purchased this pair of dolls from an estate sale. They have old heads but I believe they are newer bodies with celluloid hands. I think that someone found these good heads and gave them these bodies with matching outfits and you won't see another pair like them. OR .. I am wrong and they are all original ? I have never seen anything like them before. They have EFFANBEE marked composition heads with pink cloth bodies and what feels to be celluloid hands. They are around 11" tall. Their heads are on a wood ring for the neck with rubberband inside. They are very loose heads and can fully swivel around. This might need to be fixed or just display them this way. Boy: Adorable little face with not much crazing and minimal cracking around the eyes. The sleep eyes are blue tin ones with some lashes. Most of the lashes are missing on the right eye and the ones on the left are cut. He has great dark brown hair that is painted with only a few tiny chips. There is one larger one on the top and one at the back of the neck near the EFFANBEE mark. Still has pretty good face paint with a few scratches / marks. The body is a little dirty. It's pink stuffed cloth with the celluloid hands. There is a small tear along the shoulder seam but nothing too bad. His outfit consists of a hat, jacket with blue buttons, pants, silky blue body suit and blue oil cloth center tie shoes. The cream pieces are a bit dirty and could use a soaking. The material feels a bit like wool but I don't know for sure. The jacket has a small tear along the side seam that needs some stitches. There are blue buttons at the neckline. There is a pin hole in the back. The matching pants have a white button at the back of the waistline. The body suit is made of a silky material. It's long sleeved with a square snap at the neck. The shoes are light blue oil cloth with original ties and cardboard bottoms. One shoe has a chip on the bottom sole at the back seam. Girl: Adorable little face with not much crazing but does have larger cracks near both eyes than the boy. The sleep eyes are blue tin ones with good lashes. She has great dark brown hair that is painted with one noticeable scratch but no chips like the boy. She also has the EFFANBEE mark on the back of her neck. Still has pretty good face paint with a few scratches / marks. There are some dark pin dots near the hairline and a dirty spot on her right cheek. The body is a little dirty. It's pink stuffed cloth with the celluloid hands. There is a small tear along the left shoulder seam but nothing too bad. Her outfit consists of a bonnet hat, jacket with white ties to match the bonnet ties, pants, silky pink body suit and pink oil cloth center tie shoes. The cream pieces are a bit dirty and could use a soaking. The material feels a bit like wool but I don't know for sure. The bonnet and jacket both have white ribbon ties for closure. The matching pants have a white button at the back of the waistline. The body suit is made of a silky material. It's long sleeved with a square snap at the neck. One sleeve has a small tear along the seam at the wrist. The shoes are pink oil cloth with original ties and cardboard bottoms. One shoe has a chip on the bottom sole at the back seam and the front near the ties is a little pushed down with a crease. Both of the dolls and outfits could use a little cleaning. They are an adorable pair. I could be wrong and maybe everything is original but I've never seen Effanbee Babies like these. The outfits are vintage and not newly made. If someone knows anything about them and they are original .. let me know. Otherwise, purchase them based on the outfits and bodies being replaced.
