A small yellow spot on the Dress, very small marks on the face (you don’t really notice unless you are very close), hair area has a few small discolorations and the eyes have a small amount of discoloration from the glue. Please see pictures for full details. About the maker: The artist for Bye-Lo Babies was Grace Storey Putnam, an American woman, who wanted to make a doll that could be cuddled. She modeled the doll’s head after a three day old baby who she saw at a California Salvation Army hospital nursery. The beautiful baby girl was not swaddled, and her legs were spread froggy style. Ms. Putnam probably sketched the baby, and then made a wax model which she patented. She presented her design to George S. Borgfeldt in 1922, and the doll was manufactured by several German companies, including Alt Beck & Gottschalck and Kestner. The Bye-Lo baby did so well on the market that it became known as the million dollar baby.
