1950s Doll Appraisal

Vogue Dolls '15" Littlest Angel' Doll

This item is a "15" Littlest Angel" doll manufactured by Vogue Dolls, as indicated by the text on the box, which also states "Pretty & poseable" and "made with love." The doll is presented in its original cardboard box, which features a clear plastic window allowing visibility of the doll. The box itself is primarily off-white/light beige with light blue and darker blue vertical stripes on the sides of the window. The doll wears a long-sleeved, full-length pink dress or gown. The upper bodice of the dress appears to be made of a smooth fabric, possibly cotton or a synthetic blend, and features two small, light-colored buttons down the front. The skirt of the dress is distinctly quilted, with diamond-shaped stitching, suggesting a padded or insulated material. A white lace trim runs vertically down the center of the skirt, from the bodice to the hem, and also appears to trim the neckline. The doll has blonde, chin-length hair and large, light-colored eyes that are characteristic of specific doll designs from the mid to late 20th century. Her facial features are soft and childlike. The doll's hands are visible and appear to be made of a plastic or vinyl material, matching the head. The overall condition appears to be excellent, as the doll is still in its original packaging, suggesting it is either new old stock or has been very well preserved. The box shows some minor wear consistent with storage, but the doll itself appears pristine, with no visible damage, wear, or discoloration. The clear plastic window on the box shows some slight reflections, but no significant creasing or tears. The craftsmanship of the doll seems to be of good quality, with attention to detail in the clothing and facial molding. The estimated age of this doll is likely late 1960s to early 1970s, based on the branding, packaging style, and the doll's aesthetic, which aligns with collectible toys from that era.
