THIS IS NOT A GREAT SPECIMEN BUT YOU DON'T SEE THESE ORGINALS VERY OFTEN.......I AM SURE THAT SOMEBODY WILL WANT TO ADD THIS TO THIER COLLECTION.
• The joints on the doll work well
• Doll appears to have been repaired all around the neck
• Part of the head may have been repainted as there is some white stuff stuck to it
• The paint is coming off it’s head/face as it’s all cracked
• The lips, eyes, and eyebrows have been repainted
• The body of the doll has lots of wear, places where the fuzz is thin or missing, well probably on the whole body the fuzz is thin to some degree
*  I am sorry that I am not able to describe these items in better detail, my grandmother knew this stuff backward and forwards but unfortunately she is no longer with us.
*  Nothing I have is a museum piece, these were just collected through the years from all over the place, mostly doll shows and doll shops in Texas.
*  Most of these items are from a collection that spanned 50 years, many of these dolls may have been touched up, repainted, repaired, etc.  Some I can tell and some I just don't know.
*  I am no expert on the
originality
of clothes, hair, accessories etc. Please looks at the pictures and go from there.
*  Items are from a non-smoking home.
* I will combine shipping in most cases (as long as the auctions end in the same few days), just wait for the auctions to end and contact me.
* I have sold stuff on and off for over 20 years on
eBay
, under this same name.  If there is a problem please contact me and I will try to work it out. This is not something I am doing just to make a quick buck.
*  Shipping can be expensive, please keep in mind that the actual cost paid to the post office is not the true cost, eBay includes that amount when I am charged fees which is around 13%, If you win an auction and you get your item and you feel your were unfairly charged then contact me about a refund. I loose money on shipping at times, it just comes with the territory.
* I have a very large collection and I intend to list a lot of items in the near future. I have way more items than I can probably ever list.
