Vintage from the 1920s
Materials: Porcelain, Fabric, Love, Handpainted Eyes, celluloid

Beautiful, near mint condition Byelo Baby. Grace Storey Putnam designed this doll to look and feel like a real three-day-old infant. But such realism was looked down upon by male industry executives. The manufacturer made design changes, smoothing facial creases and using a bisque head instead of rubber. Still, women eagerly lined up outside toy stores just before Christmas 1923 to buy the "Million Dollar Baby."

Purchased in 1995 exactly as pictured from a local antiques dealer. Approximately 14" / 35cm long, porcelain head and breastplate, working sleep eyes, body is fabric and stuffed. dressed in knitted underwear, white cotton gown and pale blue velveteen cape.

I was surprised with the amount of time the seller took to ship the yarn. It did however arrive in time. Very soft and the colours matched the photos. Thanks !

Response from Karin Bole Tupper

I’m delighted to hear you’re happy with your yarn. I’m happy too, that Etsy records show your yarn was shipped the same day as purchased, faster than the processing time I indicated in the listing. Happy knitting :)
