Here we have a rarity in an African American Chatty Cathy in her original presentation and box. Details include wonderful facial molding and painting with brown sleep eyes and shell pink lips that part slightly to reveal two pearly front teeth. Her rooted hair is styled in pigtails and tied with orange ribbons. She is on a jointed body with straight legs, nicely posed hands and a perforated voicebox opening at upper torso and a pull cord at back, (voice box non-functioning).
She wears a cotton dress with a red and white striped skirt, a sleeveless, solid red bodice a lavish sash and an eyelet lace overlay. Underneath, she wears a crinoline edged in eyelet lace and bordered in orange satin ribbon plus high waisted cotton jersey panties. Cream cotton socks and red velvet flats with a floral embellishment at to complete her presentation. She retains her original Mattel wrist tag and box, which is in fragile condition.
