JOSEF ORIGINAL BIRTHDAY ANGEL AGE 9 HANG TAG FOIL LABELS SIGNED 1945-1961 JAPAN

This Age 9 Josef Original Birthday Angel is in excellent vintage condition. The high gloss surfaces make many reflections, but there are no paint rubs, chips, cracks, crazing or repairs. The bottom of the doll is gleaming white and matte white. It looks dark at the bottoms in some photos because I had the figurine sitting on dark wood when I took some pictures and it’s reflecting.

Height: 4.75 Inches; Width (Diameter of base/dress): 4 inches. Depth: 3.5 inches.

Designed in California by creator Muriel Joseph George in the late 1940s, the collection was crafted to celebrate a child's growth year over year. The series traditionally runs from Newborn / Year 1 through Age 21. Each year features a unique outfit color, a distinct pose and the corresponding numerical age accented in gold. True vintage mid-century pieces made in Japan from 1945-1961, as this doll is, are highly prized for their signature all-black eyes. The base of this doll also has the incised script Josef Originals with a circled "C" (for copyright).
