Grouped together for restoration or parts. We are pleased to offer this very rare, group of THREE , (shown in first 6 photos only) all original, "AMOSANDRA", Ruth E. Newton's designed, black
jointed rubber baby dolls manufactured by Sun Rubber Co., Barberton,
Ohio, after the radio child star of the "Amos 'n Andy" Show, Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., born on Valentine's Day,
1949. These, 10" long, baby dolls all have swivel heads and working
joints at their shoulders and hips and one wears what seems to be her original, blue cotton printed dress with puff sleeves. They were designed to
drink and wet and both have molded and painted curly black hair, (one very faded) chubby
cheeks, cute little noses and blushed cheeks. They are signed on their head s: AMOSANDRA / ©Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. and again across their shoulders :
Designed by/Ruth E. Newton/ Manufactured by/ The Sun Rubber
Co ./Barberton, Ohio, USA/Pat. 2118682/Pat. 2160739 (painted eye
version). The dolls have hardened rubber (which is very common on old rubber
dolls) with age related distortion or splits to legs, arms, etc. as shown, (one doll being much worse than the other) as well as distorted or sunken heads (due to storage) one arm
is broken off at the elbow. The third doll has perfect arms to use for repair. Please
examine the photos as they are an important part of the description.
Perhaps you can use them to restore another "Amosandra" doll or you might
have parts to complete each of them. We have had some luck with
similar dolls by gently warming them and stuffing the heads or limbs with
soft cotton.) They are being sold "as is" and each will be very
carefully wrapped and shipped, no returns or exchanges. We have additional parts that we will include with purchase for free. Other dolls shown are not included and each listed separately. Please note: nearly all of our items are antique or vintage (usually with some signs of wear due to usage and previous storage). We
do our very best to describe and photograph them for you and do not
repair, restring, repaint or enhance them in any way as most collectors
prefer to find them in their original state. Please use the zoom feature
on our photos as they are an important part of the description as we leave it to you to determine the condition of the items based on the pictures provided . no returns, refunds or exchanges. We
