1953 R&B Arranbee Dream Bride Doll - Wonderful Vintage Condition!

Description

A wonderful vintage find!  This beautiful doll is an original 1953 R&B Arranbee Dream Bride Doll.  She is 17" tall, and is made of hard plastic.  She is a "walker" doll with green eyes, and has pin-hip hinges, her knees bend.  She is marked on the back of her neck "R&B" and "18VH".
The bridal gown is complete, to my knowledge.  Included are the full length dress with 2 underskirts.  The gown is a satin fabric with large floral lace trim, rhinestone detail, puffed tulle sleeves and a full length tulle skirt.  The 2 underskirts include a wired base skirt and a satin  overskirt, with tiny lace trim.  Also includes a full length tulle veil, anchored on matching satin and floral lace, a single flower nosegay, and a pair of fabric slippers.
Condition of the doll:  She shows slight wear around her joints - her hip and knee joints function very well.  Her arms are hinged, but the right arm will not stay "up".  Her hair is in great shape - perhaps a little matted?  She has sleepy eyes that are a bit "sticky", they do not open and close without assistance.  Her lipstick is flawless.  Her painted lashes and brows are also in excellent condition - the lashes appear to be fully intact.  Hands and feet also look excellent - please see photos for further detail.
Condition of bridal ensemble:  The veil has 2 holes in the tulle, hardly noticeable.  The floral lace has a very small bit of fraying on a couple of flowers.  The wedding gown has 3 snaps, all function properly.  I see 2 small holes in the tulle skirt, the satin bodice is in excellent condition.  The satin underskirt is in excellent condition - no holes, it has a snap at the waist, and it appears that it is not original.  The wired base skirt needs mended - the bottom wire is loose from the skirt on approximately half of the skirt.  The nosegay is in very good condition, shows its age.  Has 6 ribbons.  The slippers show definite wear, but are structurally sound.
