HUGE
Life-size 1950s Canadian Regal Doctor & Nurse Dolls - £65.00
     These huge late 50s Regal
Canada dolls are a fabulous vintage find with an interesting history as they were originally displayed in an old hospital children's ward. "Doctor" has a sewn in label to his shirt printed "Chase Farm Hospital Auckland" and his nurse has a real nurses "Civil Nursing Reserve" metal badge along with "Chase Farm Hospital Children's ward Staff Nurse" typed badge. Dolls are both marked "Regal Canada" on their backs. They're a HUGE
life-size 31 inches in height with sleep eyes, all lashes and rooted hair (some fading to Nurse's hair). These were the outfits made for them to display in the hospital, very detailed including full undergarments, socks and shoes (couple of buttons missing from shoes). This wonderful pair are made from plastic and heavy quality rigid vinyl but sadly the brittle nature of the plastic has resulted in legs becoming cracked and damaged. This will be from the duration of time rather than play (care always needs to be taken when dressing/undressing dolls of this nature) although as you can see they have wonderful display potential just as they are!. Outfits are lightly dusty
otherwise have fared the years very well.
