Chatty Cathy 20” Doll Prototype 1960s Strawberry Blonde Freckles

Description

19-20" Mattel Chatty Cathy prototype 1960's strawberry blonde doll.  Blue eyes and freckles.
She is a nice clean doll.
She has the cloth cover for her voice box and no markings on her which ID her as the prototype doll from the 160's.
Pull string will pull out but does not produce any noise.  Voicebox not working.
Seems to have one tooth in the middle and slightly off to one side.  I think they normally have 2 teeth so one may be broken off but I do not see where it is broken off.  She looks cute as she is or you could replace her teeth.
Eyes are blue with lashes and they open and close correctly.  Her lashes look different than others I have seen, possibly they have been replaced.
Her hair is rooted, clean and combed.
Hard plastic body is a little different color than the vinyl head and limbs because of age and the different material.  The head, arms and legs move nicely.
Her dress is vintage and clean but shows wear and age.  I do not know if the dress is original.  She came to me with this dress on.   She has a pair of bloomers from my inventory.  It is clean but some of the lace stitches are coming out.  I do not have any shoes for her so I have included some new socks and hair clips.
