Wendy Ballerina Appraisal

Madame Alexander Wendy Ballerina Doll with Original Box

A vintage 7.5 to 8-inch Madame Alexander hard-plastic 'Wendy-Kins' or 'Alexander-Kins' doll from the mid-to-late 1950s. The doll features a brunette wig styled in a classic bun with a decorative curl on the forehead. She has 'sleep eyes' with molded lashes and a hand-painted face featuring rose-colored lips and cheeks. The doll is attired in a light pink satin ballerina bodice with an attached white lace tutu embellished with floral lace patterns. She wears matching light pink satin ballet slippers. The construction is characterized by a jointed neck, shoulders, and hips, typical of the 'bent-knee' walker or straight-leg models and is likely composed of hard plastic. Included is the original Madame Alexander blue patterned box, which displays the repetitive floral and name-brand logo characteristic of the mid-20th century packaging. The doll appears to be in very good vintage condition with well-preserved textiles and vibrant facial paint. There is a secondary pair of red shoes visible in the box, suggesting additional accessories or a variation set. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high-quality production standards of the Madame Alexander Doll Company during its golden era.
