Vintage KAMAR Doll Japan Red Hair - Big Eye - Pre-Blythe 1968 Fur Coat Swim Cap

Description

1968 KAMAR Japan doll 9" tall. This is an estate sale find, but the previous owner had a handwritten note in the box: "Mona by Kamar 9" 1968".
She comes with a swim cap? on her red head and wearing a fur coat along with the same material panties. The cap and panties were originally glued to the doll so there is no removing them, or at least i did not try very hard. The end of the right foot shows wear on the paint. There appears to be a freckle or beauty mark on the left cheek. Coat is a little dingy and button is snapped together, but is loose from the one side. Hair is red and seems to be in tact. I did not try to clean the doll or clothes in any way.
What a fantastic early example that predates Blythe. Please let me know of you would like additional pictures or descriptions. Thank you so much!
