This listing is for a vintage 1963 Pre Teen Tressy doll by American Character. Tressy is lovely, with clear blue eyes and thick brown hair. But she does have issues. She has had her hair cut and unfortunately there are a couple rows of plugs that have been trimmed to the scalp (please see the pictures). Also, her hair growing mechanism seems stuck. It will retract her hair more, but it is hard to pull it out again. It also looks as though one side is a bit shorter than the other. I've never had one of these dolls before, so I'm not sure how she should work. Tressy comes in her original pink pique jumper with attached blouse. It needs mending at the waist and the snaps should be re-sewn. Also, the elastic at the wrists has become loose and could be replaced. There are stains or discoloration on the dress and jumper as well as her shoes. She comes without underclothing. That all said, this doll is pretty and her body is in good condition. It is a shame about her hair, but perhaps a talented restorer could re-root the front plugs and address the other minor issues. The hair that she does have is so lovely. It is thick, silky, and a gorgeous brown shade. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Tressy is a vintage girl, and I don't know her background, but she does not smell of smoke and I have been keeping her in a smoke free environment.
