    Lot of 2 includes one doll and one swimsuit
    This doll is from 1963 and stands 8" tall. She shows signs of play (her hair may have been cut in some places too). Her name MIGHT be Penny Brite (?) but I am not sure because some similar dolls have thicker eyebrows and no dimples (this doll has thin eyebrows and dimples-she has a Shirley Temple look because of the dimples). This doll does not come with a box or with her original clothing. doll is wearing the red and white bathing suit from the 1960s Skipper doll. Bathing suit shows wear with age and play. Her light brownish hair is a mess but she is still in pretty good condition for her age! She does have 2 initials (handwritten in black marker) on her back and a pink marker line on her right arm. There are other markings on this doll's legs that are difficult to make out. Within her inner thighs are some type of model numbers- it looks like D 2 A62(?) on her left leg and D 2 A112 on her right leg. Her toes and fingers are all still in tact, and her painted eyes (that shift to the left) are in tact as well.
    Please view all pictures for detailed information and condition of item, and feel free to ask questions.
    Please consider camera flash/no flash may make photos look brighter or darker than actual color/texture of item.
    I describe the item to the best of my ability; please consider that perceptions of condition and/or color of an item can be subjective- condition or perspective descriptions can differ among sellers and buyers "tan" might be "beige" to one person and light brown to another, so please inquire if you have any questions or would like new pictures under specific light/background.
    Many of my listed items are used & are sold "As is" unless noted differently in the description. You will get what is pictured.
    Multiple pictures with different views are taken to show condition, some of which I keep on a hard drive until the items sells and feedback is left.
    Most of my listed items are vintage, retro, or over a decade old [some are new] and are not in perfect condition, though I try to focus most images on defects and disclose defects to the best of my ability, I may miss something. With each item that is photographed, I cello-wrap it immediately after, and re-photograph and re-wrap it after each sale.
    Please be advised that 'used' or 'previously owned' items might show signs of normal use such as scuffs, creases, small dings/dents, age marks, dirt, dust, etc. I generally only gently clean items as to not compromise the patina or original colors-I leave this up to the buyer to clean at their own discretion-therefore, items may need cleaning/freshened up/ironed.
