Everything shown in the photographs is included. Nothing additional is included.

The small original coin associated with Nellie’s accessories has not been located or verified and is not guaranteed to be included.

The doll presents very nicely overall. Her face appears clean, her freckles remain visible, and her eyes open and close. Hair appears smooth with light handling or storage wear. Clothing may have minor wrinkles, lint, loose threads or small signs of age.

The original box shows expected storage wear, including rubbing, scuffs, edge wear and corner wear. Please enlarge and carefully inspect all photographs because they are an important part of the description.

This retired Nellie doll is increasingly difficult to find with her original box, meet outfit, hat, accessories, book and paperwork.

Item will be carefully packed in a sturdy shipping carton with protection around the original box.
