Vintage Half Pint Effenbee Doll. Measures 10 1/2" in height. Plastic. Little boy wearing a Sailer outfit. Very good condition.He does not have shoes. I don't know if he's supposed to.
This charming 10 1/2-inch plastic doll is a classic "Half Pint" from the legendary Effanbee Doll Company, originally introduced in the mid-1960s. Dressed as a little sailor boy, he features a classic nautical ensemble with a navy blue jumper, a crisp white hat, and a sailor collar accented by a red anchor and bow. Effanbee—founded in 1910 by Fleischaker and Baum—is one of America's oldest and most respected doll manufacturers, known for high-quality craftsmanship and their signature "Dolls That Touch Your Heart" philosophy.
The Half Pint line was beloved for its durable plastic or vinyl construction and adorable, toddler-like expressions. This specific doll retains its original gold-tone heart-shaped "Effanbee" wrist tag, a hallmark of authenticity for collectors. Whether you are a dedicated collector of 1960s toys or looking for a nostalgic accent for a nursery or library, this well-preserved little sailor is ready to set sail for a new home.
This item is vintage. over 60 years old, as the Half Pint line originally debuted in 1966. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. He does not have shoes; please note that many vintage Half Pint dolls were originally sold in various outfits that did not always include footwear. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
