1972 Velvet ‘Look Around’ Doll w/ 1970 1st Ed. Box - Chrissy Family, Estate Find

Description: This is a 1972 Ideal Velvet “Look Around” Doll from the beloved Chrissy family series, paired with a 1970 first edition Velvet box. Both were discovered together at an estate sale in West Austin, offering a fascinating backstory. The estate belonged to a woman whose daughter, the original owner of the doll, had left for college in the late 70s/early 80s. Her bedroom remained unchanged since that time, serving as a time capsule from that era. The doll and the 1970 box were found together and fit perfectly, preserving their shared history. Key Features: •Brand/Model: 1972 Ideal Velvet “Look Around” Doll, Chrissy’s Cousin series •Look Around Mechanism: This version features the “Look Around” functionality—when you turn the butterfly knob, the doll’s head and eyes move, creating an interactive and lifelike experience. •Hair-Growing Feature: The hair mechanism, an iconic feature of Velvet dolls, works smoothly, allowing you to adjust her hair length easily using the knob on her back. •Sleepy Eyes: The doll includes the classic sleepy eyes that open and close when tilted, functioning well and adding to her realistic look. •Posable Limbs: Her arms and legs are movable, making her poseable for both play and display. •Condition: Excellent used condition (EUC). The doll’s hair is shiny, and all mechanisms (hair and eyes) are fully functional. Minimal signs of wear are visible, preserving her vintage appeal. •Clothing: Velvet is wearing a vintage floral dress from the same era (not her original outfit but era-appropriate) that’s in excellent condition without any rips or stains. •Original 1970 First Edition Box: The box is from the first edition 1970 Velvet doll, consistent with the early packaging used by Ideal for this line. Although the original 1970 doll is no longer present, the 1972 “Look Around” Velvet fits perfectly in it. The box has some signs of vintage wear but remains structurally intact and suitable for display. Collectible Insight: This unique estate find combines a 1972 “Look Around” Velvet doll with a 1970 first edition box, adding a layer of vintage authenticity and value. Perfect for collectors who appreciate not only the toys themselves but also their history and preservation. The set, found together in a time-capsule-like room from the late 70s, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of toy history that has been preserved as a complete set for decades. This is a wonderful piece for vintage doll enthusiasts and collectors of 1970s toys, maintaining both historical accuracy and nostalgic charm. Note: Please review all photos for an accurate depiction of the item’s condition. The doll’s mechanisms are functional, and she displays beautifully.
