Vintage 1960s "Matilda" Drink-and-Wet Baby Doll – 9.5" Collectible Project Piece
A haunting mid-century novelty doll from the 1940s–1950s, this 9.5-inch "drink-and-wet" baby features a hard plastic/vinyl jointed body, molded swirl-textured hair, weighted blinking sleep eyes, and an open mouth designed for a miniature bottle. Sold AS-IS for restoration, customization, or display.
Condition Overview
Left eye functions normally (opens upright, closes when horizontal); right eye remains open. Sleep mechanism works. Minor age clouding visible. Bright facial paint on lips. Hard plastic shows typical wear, scuffs on limbs, and a blue ink mark on the abdomen—likely from decades-old childhood play. One leg is bare; the other is wrapped in plaster-like bandaging applied by the original owner, possibly inspired by a family member in nursing. The doll wears a handmade vintage cloth diaper secured with a safety pin.
Perfect For
Doll collectors and restorers seeking an authentic mid-century project. Horror or gothic enthusiasts—ideal as a Halloween prop, display piece, or art installation. The weathered features and unusual styling tap into the "uncanny valley" effect that makes vintage dolls visually compelling and unsettling.
Includes handmade vintage cloth diaper. Smoke-free home. Review all photos for complete condition assessment. Contact with questions before purchase.
