1950's walking doll repair

 

This is 'Susie Stepps'.
She is made od hard plastic and dates to the 1950's.
She had a fall and her eyes fell out.
While her eye issue was being investigated....her head fell off
She has arrived to be reassembled.


Here are her eyes.
This type of eye clamps on to a projection inside the head.



That is the projection inside the head between the eyes. One side is chipped and crumbled which is why the eye clamp fell off.




With the mount getting reinforced with epoxy putty, the eye mechanism can be clamped on again.





Head reattached, arms restrung and even some new eyelashes....she is ready to go home.
