Vintage Chatty Cathy Doll, Blond, Soft Face, Original Playtime Outfit #697, Makes Noise, Ca 1961
Description
Welcome to this listing. We are very pleased to offer a vintage circa 1961 20-inch Chatty Cathy doll with blue eyes, blond hair, and soft face.  She makes noise but cannot be understood. Her hair color is more like that of a strawberry blond. She is dressed in an original Playtime outfit, which is #697.  The outfit consists of navy blue shorts, white tee shirt, red and white striped jacket, red sun visor and beige sandal-type shoes.   The label on the jacket states "Chatty Cathy, Mattel."  The interior of the shoes is marked "Japan."  The back of the doll is marked "Chatty Cathy 1960, Chatty Baby 1961, by Mattel, Inc., U.S. Pat. 3,017,187, Other U.S. & Foreign Pat. Pend."  Just beneath this mark is the Mattel Toymakers insignia with the little boy.  .
The doll is in good condition and makes noise but cannot be understood.  Her face is not damaged and all the limbs are tight and will hold positions.  This doll's back appears to have been repaired.  The entire torso was covered with a pink paint-like substance which we removed.  The clothing is in good used condition.  It exhibits some wear and minor soil but is not ripped or torn except for a small hole in the back of the white top.   The doll's hair ribbon is not original.  Please use the photos to assist you in determining if the contents of this listing meet with your requirements.
