Condition:
Doll is in overall Very Good Condition, Bisque head is free from cracks, chips and repairs, her eyes have some paint chipping on the lids when closed and could be adjusted slightly to fit better into the sockets, if you look at the images you can see there is a very slight gap there where they have come a little out over time. She has some old glue residue at the temples and around the scalp edges where her wig was affixed to her head, wig appears original as does the leather kid body and bisque hands. Her body has two old taped repairs at the joint seam, one on her arm at the elbow and one her leg at the knee, images are provided and more are available.
Note: Dolls are carefully packaged for shipping, if wigs/ heads can be opened without damage the inside is packed to avoid movement to eye mechanisms. IF the head can not be packed inside we carefully position the eyes in sleep mode and wrap with terry like cloth than tissue and then tape the area to avoid any damage to the eyes and bisque, the doll is wrapped in tissue, then paper than bubble wrap, usually double or triple layer, the dolls are placed in popcorn in center of boxes, double boxed if size and such dictates. We want your precious package to arrive safely and without damage as much as you do :)
