Summary
A plastic hairdryer for a 'Sindy' doll with its original box (circa 1973). There is a white plastic base which contains the battery, which is missing. On this is a yellow seat and a switch. Behind the seat is a yellow pillar with the dryer at the top. The dryer has a white grid and rim and is movable. There is another switch at the base of the pillar. The dryer has an 'S' embossed on the hood. A piece of yellow tape, presumably to hold the battery, is in the base. The cardboard box has a colour photograph of Sindy sitting under the dryer on four sides. The hair rollers specified on the box are missing. Total number of items is 4. Bought in 1973 for the donor's daughter (Sally) when she was age 4 or 5.
