My usual basic description with all the needed details, none of the flowery sales pitch stuff. Please ask for more pictures if needed.

I describe to the best of my ability. The picturees are the definitive description so that is the truth if the description is off (and if it is tell me before bid)

This cute child measures about 12". It is Armand Marseilles character baby mold 990.

The head circumference is about 8.5". The original blue sleep eyes are present. They work well. She has a antique blonde mohair wig. The top is lifting off but can easily be glued down. The mouth is open with the expected 2 upper teeth. She doesn't have any hairline cracks. There is something imbedded in the bisque under the right ear. The head is stuffed to protect the eyes from breaking loose. As usual, the wig & pate will only be loosely packed so you can remove packing.

BODY

This is a 5 piece baby body that is probably not original to the head. It is tightly strung and sits well. Fingers are intact. It has the usual zings and discolorations of antique composition bodies. Specific details show some cracking between the shoulder blades, the upper butt, and front chest and abdome. There is a circuler mark (pictured) on the outside of the left thigh.

CLOTHING

She has reproduction shoes and socks. I don't know how old the dress, panties and hat are. The outfit looks home made, but nicely done. They are made in a plaid silk.There is embroidery around the collar, bottom of the bodice and bottome of the dress. There are 2 snaps in the back and one on both sleeves.

SHIPPING

Shipping is an estimate. I put in estimated total weight and package size for boxes I have at hand when listed. At time of purchase I may have s smaller one, SO ASK FOR INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. The package will be insured for the value paid. It is included in the shipping cost. I expect payment within 3 days of purchase or receipt of invoice unless otherwise agreed.

I will combine shipping when I can. This can be combined with ONE big doll.

ALL COMBINED PURCHASES MUST BE PAID FOR TOGETHER SINCE I CAN'T INSURE IT PROPERLY OTHERWISE.

Dolls cannot be shipped with the wigs.

I am not a professional dealer. I am selling my collection of 1000+ dolls, accumulated over 40 years. Many of these have been put together with parts bought separately over years. I describe to the best of my ability.

FOR PACKING I USE PREVIOUSLY USED BOXES, CLEAN PLASTICS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED, NOT NEW PACKING MATERIALS. THE HEAD IS WRAPPED IN EITHER NEW OR USED BUBBLE WRAP. THE BOX/PACKING WILL NOT LOOK PRETTY OR ELEGANT BUT THE CONTENTS WILL BE SECURE. THESE MATERIALS MAY BE PLASTIC MILK CARTONS, NEWSPAPERS, EMPTY FOOD PACKAGES, ETC. These all have been washed in hot soapy water and allowed to dry completely.
