Madame Alexander McGuffey Ana 13” Composition with Tin Eyes

Description

Here is a composition Madame Alexander McGuffey Ana tin eye doll in fairly good condition. I have washed her clothing and restrung her, but have not done any other restoration or painting - she is yours to complete! Details below - happy to answer any questions.
She measures 13” tall, is all composition, fully jointed at neck, arms and legs. She can stand, but only with some fiddling - I will include a vintage doll stand.
She has blue tin sleep eyes, is missing the eyelashes on one eye.
She has an open mouth with teeth and a felt tongue. She has lost most of her lip paint and does not have blushed cheeks.
She wears a well made dotted swiss dress with three square snaps - I think this is an original MA dress, but it is not tagged.
Her mohair wig needs some work, her bangs should be curled and the braids perhaps redone - the ribbons are very fragile and the bands holding the braided ends are disintegrating.
She is marked (raised, but fain
t) 13 on back, circle with x on neck
Her left foot is damaged, also her left hand (the inner fingers - see photographs.) Her sock is torn where it was on the damaged foot.
She has paint loss - also shown in photos.
Light crazing, but no cracked lifting noted.
I gave her a vintage slip and new shoes and a new hat - it would be great if her braids had green ribbons to match!
She was wearing all the rest when I found her.
