Summary
A plastic baby doll ('Teeny Tiny Tears') manufactured by Palitoy with moulded and painted facial features, open and close blue plastic eyes with brown nylon eyelashes, and rooted blonde nylon short hair. She has a small circular hole at the centre of her lips, presumably so that she can 'feed' from a bottle. She has a swivel head, and is jointed at the shoulders and hips. She is wearing a white nylon vest, textured in a waffle pattern. Both the doll's face and the vest are quite dirty. Teeny Tiny Tears dolls were first produced in 1966, but it is not know when this example dates from.
