Extra Notes, please read the boring bits :-
I provide plenty of photographs which can be enlarged and they form the most important part of the description.
If, after looking at ALL the pictures and reading the description, you are still unsure about something please ASK a question before buying.
(This account is NOT monitored 24/7 so please allow me time to answer)
I sell USED items, I state “vintage” indicating 30+ years old OR “Antique” 100 + years old.
When buying “used” items please do not expect the item to be “brand new” . They will have age related wear and you can look at the pictures to get more info.
Antique doll bodies will have scuffs and marks, sometimes crazing in the lacquer or paint scrapes, joint rubs and general age patina. I can not list every single little mark on an antique so I take the time to provide lots of pictures so you can see things that are important for you when making a decision to buy.
I always clean my antique doll heads to make sure they are free from dirt and old glue and I never glue my wigs on.
That way there is no need for messy glue and you can change your doll’s look whenever you want. Importantly it allows the head to be examined for cracks. I make a paper dome to go inside the head and pin the wigs on.
Doll stands and any props, chairs, etc are NOT included in the sale. I have a non smoking home.
I use air-cap wrapping, biodegradable poly chips and strong boxes to pack dolls safely, so no need to worry.
Overseas postage
Tracking numbers and receipts retained for safe overseas postage.
Please select your country from the drop down menu and the price for your shipping will be displayed.
I will do my best to estimate overseas shipping cost accurately, any overpayments will be refunded. I am selling antiques so you should not incur any import duties , but if you do then these are down to you to pay. Your government may charge you before receipt of your parcel. I can't help this, so please bare this in mind when buying or bidding thankyou. There may be Customs handling charges.
If an item is returned to me because they were unable to deliver, no one home or not called for then I will ask you to re-pay the postage to have it sent again.
