Condition Report

• The Doll: The doll is in excellent, like-new condition. It shows only the lightest signs of handling and has been well-preserved over the decades. The yellow rooted hair is soft and retains its original factory styling. The facial paint is crisp, and the "lemon" scent is still strong.

• The Outfit: Baby Lemon Meringue is dressed in her original yellow polka-dot sleeper with matching bonnet and booties. The fabric is clean, bright, and free of stains or tears.

• The Box: The original window box is included. It has been opened, but the cardboard remains sturdy and in good vintage condition. The graphics are vibrant, though there is light scuffing on the bottom front corner of the box.

Collector’s Note

While many Baby Lemon Meringue dolls were played with heavily, this example has been kept in its box for the majority of its life. The "open box" status allows you to appreciate the doll's minty condition while still having the original 1982 artwork to display alongside it.
