1957 14" American Character Sweet Sue Sophisticate w/Flexible Feet Twist Waist

Description: I am selling this doll and other doll items for a dear friend who is not well and is significantly reducing her doll collection. If you've seen my listings before yes, I am still selling for her and she has more to come, LOL. All items I sell come from a non-smoking home. Please ask any and all questions as all sales are final. I am unable to ship between Aug 1-11 I believe this to be a Sweet Sue Sophisticate doll from 1957. She has the eyelashes underneath her eyes, lovely blue sleep eyes, rooted red hair, a swivel/twist waist, a swivel and tilt head and flexible feet so she can wear heels or flats. Please see pictures as they are part of the description. Also please read below from research I have done to determine whether this was a Toni doll or Sweet Sue. She wears a vintage sheer dress over a pink sleeveless underdress with netting around the hem, pink panties and thigh high stockings. I see no holes, rips or tears in her clothes. Could possibly use a wash to brighten them some. Her nail polish on her right fingers is quite faint compared to the left. A truly lovely doll. In 1957, a year prior to the introduction of "Toni", American Character marketed a very similar doll called "Sweet Sue Sophisticate". A young girl style doll had been sold for several years by the company under the name "Sweet Sue". The "Sophisticate" was added to her name when she was re-designed as a glamour type doll. This doll was only available for one year and was sold only in 14 inch and 20 inch sizes. She was also sold in a version with a "flexible foot" that would allow her to wear flat shoes, ballet shoes, and high heal shoes."Sweet Sue Sophisticate" was virtually identical to the larger sized "Toni's" except for a few key differences. Sweet Sue Sophisticate had eyelashes painted underneath her eyes while Toni had them only in the corner. Sweet Sue Sophisticate also had a slightly different body construction that would her to both tilt and swivel her head. Toni can only swivel her head and waist, but she cannot tilt her head or bend at her waist."Sweet Sue Sophisticate" was virtually identical to the larger sized "Toni's" except for a few key differences.
