Vintage Hard Plastic Costume Doll

This is a vintage collector doll, likely from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s), housed in its original clear cylindrical plastic display tube. The doll is constructed from hard plastic and features 'sleep eyes' that close when horizontal, though the pupils appear to have some white clouding or degradation common in older plastics. It stands approximately 7 to 8 inches tall. The doll is dressed in a folk-style costume consisting of a white short-sleeved blouse, a short red capelet, and a black skirt overlaid with a decorative white floral lace apron. It wears a wide-brimmed black hat with white lace trim, secured by a black ribbon tied under the chin. The hair is auburn or dark reddish-brown, styled in a simple bob. The legs are molded with painted black shoes. The condition shows significant shelf wear on the outer plastic packaging, which is scuffed and dusty. The doll's eyes exhibit typical 'cloudy eye' syndrome where the plastic substrate has deteriorated over time, common in dolls of this era. This item is characteristic of 'Dolls of the World' or souvenir-style collectibles mass-produced for the mid-century hobbyist market.
