This nice old doll has arrived to get freshed up.
Her wig is messy, her hands are odd and she has something weird feeling on her torso under her sewn on longjohns.
The stitches on the longjohns get picked open.
Happily, the weird feeling thing on her torso turned out to be a wad of hardened elastic inside a pair of underwear. She had no issues with her torso after all.
Her hands are interesting. These are rubber hands. Unfortunately rubber does not age well and these hands are warped and quite brittle. Her left hand is crumbling at the wrist.
Old rubber can not be rejuvinated. You either accept the warped look and the knowledge that they will continue to crumble away or you replace the hands.
Vintage parts can sometimes be hard to find. Fortunately I had a composition pair that would fit and they got painted to match her body finish.
Then it was on to hair styling!
After a new 'do she headed home.
She gets reunited with her original dress.
This is a factory chemise which identifies her as an Eaton's Beauty Doll.
