Sin marca - Doll - 1950-1960

Antique doll from the 1950s, it wears two dresses: a white petticoat with ruffles and a blue dress with white details, and white socks. The eyes close when laid down; it does not retain eyelashes. It has a wig glued to the head, which typically belongs to the oldest models from the 1950s. It also has the crying mechanism on the back, which places it unmistakably in the mid-1950s. Its large size, 65 cm tall, makes it a high-end model or a large mannequin/baby doll of the era. The toes are joined, sculpted in a single block, a definitive technique from the first half of the 1950s. The legs and arms are articulated by internal elastic bands, which further confirms that it is handcrafted from the era. The blue dress with white lines and lace underskirts she wears faithfully emulates the fashion of high-society children in the 1950s in Spain, heavily influenced by the iconic Mariquita Pérez doll. It having no brand is completely normal for that era. In Spain, during the 1950s and 1960s, many toy factories, especially in the Alicante area, produced hard plastic or polystyrene dolls for neighborhood shops, tombola stalls, or generic distributors that did not stamp marks on the mold.
