This doll has arrived to (hopefully) get her hip fixed and to spruce up her eyes.
She is a plastic doll from the 1950's
Her eyes are covered with white stuff.
Despite how the white stuff looks, it is not mold. It is leaching plasticizer.
Sometimes the irises are covered with plasticizer but these eyes are not bad at all!
The whole hip on the one leg is missing.
Rebuilding vintage plastic into a functioning hip will not be easy.
So with fingers crossed, I go looking for a similar doll who can donate her leg.
Sometimes luck in on your side and you find a donor.
She now has an intact right leg.
The donor even gave up her undies and shoes!
