Description

Patsy Ann™ was sculpted by Bernard Lipfert for sale in 1929. Made from composition, she had either molded, painted hair, or her molded hair was left unpainted and was covered with an applied wig made from human hair or mohair. Her sleep eyes were either tin or glass; brown, green and blue eyed dolls were offered. Another early version of Patsy Ann™, called the “open mouth Patsy Ann™” was made using the Luvums head with a smiling mouth featuring six upper teeth. In the late 30’s Patsy Ann™ had a cloth body to hold a key-wound music box that played “happy birthday.” The fifties marked a change in doll manufacturing as composition was replaced by vinyl and hard plastic. Patsy Ann™ was re-introduced as an all vinyl doll with rooted hair in 1959, and was dressed as the official Girl Scout Doll. Our Patsy Ann™ is lovingly created from a natural matte finish vinyl. She has molded painted hair reminiscent of the 1929 composition doll, enhanced with hand painted details. The all-new 2004 collection includes dressed dolls and outfits, all designed by Robert Tonner, and is limited to 1,000 pieces per design. Patsy Ann™ is an 18″ vinyl doll with sleep eyes and molded painted hair.
