An Amazing Birthday! 90yr Vintage Arranbee Nancy Composition Doll Restoration with Human Hair Wig

It is always an amazing birthday when I have a new doll to restore and this year I got to save a doll that was listed as a creepy Halloween doll. Creepy she is not, beautiful she is. She is an Arranbee Nancy composition doll with a human hair wig, a present from my husband of 57yrs. She is from the Southern Girl series and is almost all original. I show how to clean her fragile organdy clothes using Retro Clean and iron them. Also, I show how to restore her oil cloth shoes. For the first time I show how to restore a human hair wig, a first for me too, it is washed while it is still on the composition doll. The doll doesn’t get wet as a composition doll should never get wet. The wig is treated with Lanolin as a 90 yr. old human hair wig is brittle. Her transformation is remarkable and I am so happy with my birthday present this year.
At our channel @DIYDollArtist we repair and restore broken, sometimes dirty, neglected dolls and toys. We want to teach you some of the techniques so that you can repair your doll, and have confidence doing it. The restoration of these vintage dolls can come in many different ways, some we find at shops, some are found and given to us to restore, and some just need a little love. Here are some links from our channel @DIYDollArtist and some of the products we used to restore this vintage Arranbee Nancy composition doll.
