Retired Robert Tonner Betsy McCall 14” Doll Wearing Sunshine Smile Outfit

Description

Betsy McCall
In May of 1951, Betsy McCall first appeared on the cover of the McCall's magazine. Then Moms and daughters looked forward each month to see what the Betsy McCall paper doll, inside the magazine, would be wearing that month and what the little story would be about. I was one of those little girls! Merry and Kerry were Betsy's twin sister and brother, and she had cousins Barbara, little Linda, and Sandy. She also had a friend named Drew and a little dog named "Nosey". In September of l952, Betsy was introduced as a 14" doll, to the delight of little girls and their moms. In the late 1990's, she was introduced as an all vinyl doll with a big wardrobe, made especially for doll collectors. This special Betsy and her pals were produced by award winning doll artist Robert Tonner.  This Betsy came to us nude, so we dressed her in a new Betsy McCall Sunshine Smiles outfit that seems to perfectly reflect her personality. We did notice that her glasses are missing one of the padded earpieces. She is about 14 inches tall and is all vinyl, with joints at the neck, arms, legs and knees. Betsy has pale blonde hair that is styled in pigtails and pretty blue eyes. She seems to be in very good condition.  We love to combine shipping whenever possible.
