At 26 inches tall, this doll is a large-scale version of the American Character "

Sweet Sue" Walker Bride

 from the mid-1950s. This size was one of the premium offerings by the American Character Doll Company, which produced Sweet Sue in various heights ranging from 14 to 31 inches. Typically this size doll was used as a store display or for special occasion gifts.

The doll sits up right with legs spread- when you move the legs from a slightly less spread to more spread, the head moves- more like tilts a little from frontal to side view.

This doll, apparently, was supposed to have been able to walk, but it doesn't- I tried to make (not force) the doll to move from a sitting position and the legs will not move. I've only ever seen the doll in the sitting position on my grandmas bed. I guess this is a classic symptom of aged internal mechanism. Where as the walking mechanism (where the metal rod connects the hips to the head) has aged. The failure is because she is 26 inches tall and heavy. Over time, the heavy-duty elastic or springs that provide the tension for her to stand upright and "step" often stretch out or snap. The result is the doll loses the ability to support her own weight while standing and can now only sit, the rod still triggers the head to  turn when the legs are moved.

If you purchase multiple items that are eligible for combined shipping, the discount will be applied automatically in your shopping cart. There is no need to contact me about combining shipping costs. Please note that combined shipping cannot be offered for fragile items, and I make this clear in the relevant item listings.

Seller Status and Rationale

I understand this policy may seem strict, but I believe it is important to set clear expectations regarding shipping and pricing. I am an individual seller, not a business, and am only selling items that have come from my own home, my mother’s items, and inherited items-with a very specific goal/reason behind the liquidation. Because of this, I am not able to cover shipping costs myself. Thank you.
