A polka-dot taffeta queen from one of Nancy Ann's most fairy-tale-driven series. (Note: the wrist tag had been taped back on by a previous owner before reaching us — not something we did, but worth knowing upfront.)
This is Queen of Hearts #157 from the Nancy Ann Storybook Fairyland Series, founded by Nancy Ann Abbott in 1936. She's bisque with painted eyes and shoes, jointed arms and legs, and a polka-dot taffeta dress fastened with the original snap button over white muslin pantaloons. She arrives in her original pink polka-dot box.
A solid pick for the Nancy Ann collector building out the Fairyland Series, or any vintage doll enthusiast.
