Vintage 1930s Composition Deanna Durbin Doll Portrait Doll by Ideal?

Description: Vintage Composition Deanna Durbin Doll - 1930s/40sMeasures approx. 21 inches Lovely doll based on actress Deanna Durbin. Unmarked but very much like the Ideal Version doll of Deanna Durbin. Therefore it is my assumption she is an Ideal Deanna Durbin. In lovely condition for her age, she is showing signs of age/use and wear. She has crazing to the paintwork of the composition in places all over, which can be seen to her face, and both the back and front of her torso body slightly to her arms and legs in places with one quite prominent crack to one of her upper arms and some damage to her finger tips. She is a little looser than she should be so that posing is challenging and when she is moved around she becomes a little floppy but if she is to be displayed with a stand and displayed in a fixed position she will hold her pose beautifully and you would never know. Overall her stringing would probably benefit from a tighten/replacement and she may also benefit from a surface clean as she has some speckling/foxing mark stains to her arms. She wears a very beautiful outfit and under layers which I assume are original that although are held with a safety pin are in nice vintage condition. The blue shoes do have sign of age/deterioration, they seem extremely fragile when attempting to remove them to show her feet so I have left them on and un-disturbed this time. I have previously looked at her feet and know they are in good condition with little painted red toe nails like those on her finger nails. She has all her teeth and her eyes will open and close. Eyelashes still present. Eye whites have yellowed with age. Make up/painted face features very good and still strong. This is a Vintage item and condition is listed as Used. As with all Vintage items they may not be perfect. There may be signs of age, wear and use. Please bear this in mind and view all photos provided. They along with the description act as the best reference for overall condition and physical appearance.
