"1926-1946 Patsy, 14" tall, cloth body on the first ones and used the Baby Dainty head mold,
later it was all composition, molded painted hair usually a shade of red with a painted headband, there is a whole line of Patsy family of dolls came in many
sizes. (Patsy & the 1922 Armand Marseille, Just Me doll #310 mold with bisque head are identical). The 1946 dolls are
unmarked, some dolls have been found on the Patricia marked body and with the Patsy Baby head with a mohair wig,
too."
I found this information on the dollreference website. Can anyone tell me how accurate this information is? I have this doll and she looks like baby dainty
but she is not marked. She has a cloth body and legs and compo arms and the baby dainty head mold. She is old. she may have had a mama cryer in her as the
fabric in her back has been cut out and a piece replaced over it. I tried to sell her as a baby dainty and no one wanted her (she is rather dirty, but someone
had made another layer of cloth to fit her like her original cloth body, like tight pj's). I think maybe she is an early patsy. Thanks for all of your
knowledge!

Hi Dolliedoll,
Yes, the information is correct & accurate, and is checked with many resources, several different books, and many doll experts are consulted. It is possible that we make an error every now & then, and we thank those who write to correct us. Then we get it corrected :) That's the wonderful thing about working on the web, things can be changed/fixed in an instant. You can find Baby Dainty referenced in the Effanbee book by Pat Smith?, 200 Years of Dolls by Dawn Herlocher, and Jan Folke's Blue Books. A better description is found on the Effanbee page for Baby Dainty. http://dollreference.com/effanbee_dolls.html "1912-1925 Baby Dainty, 13, 15" tall, composition shoulder head on a cloth stuffed body, blue sleep eyes, open mouth with four teeth and felt tongue, or closed mouth, the 1913 version has a closed mouth but came with a pacifier, came with molded hair or wigged. Early dolls are marked: Effanbee/Dolls/Walk/Talk/Sleep in an oval, after 1920 marked: Effanbee/Baby
Dainty."

I only started her bid at 9.99 which I thought was reasonable.
The doll market is down. I am selling dolls for a friend of mine who inherited a doll shop from her best friend. (she is 70 years old.) She doesn't understand why they do not sell for more. I watch other auctions, not to many go very high-I think when she was collecting dolls 25 years ago, you had to search high and low for what you were looking for and when you found the prize, it was not unusual to pay big money for that doll you have been searching for. Now you may have20 dolls of the same type available all at the same time. I have also noticed with ebay that I may have 20 people "watching" a doll and they all wait until the last minute to bid, so the doll does not sell for very much. It is frustrating. I have dolls that have appraised values of $300 and if you list with a buy it now feature, no one will bid on it. |

I collect compositon dolls as well as other dolls. I have noticed that the prices of them are going down instead of up. You might want to wait until closer to
Christmas when the prices of dolls do tend to escalate. I like your baby dainty, but I have one already. Mine is marked and I do need to do some restoration
work on her. Not much but a little bit. BD is a rather wonderful doll.
