Her bisque head has no hairlines, has smooth to the touch bisque and has nice coloring. Her blue glass eyes do not sleep and it appears someone set them in the fixed posistion with plaster. She has an open mouth with 4 porcelain teeth. Her ears are pierced denoting a quality doll.
She is wearing a gorgeous long red mohair wig with tails. It really brings out her eyes. Her feathered molded eyebrows are handpainted. She has painted upper and lower lashes.
She wears a beautiful antique white cotton embroidered dress. Underneath she is wearing pretty pantaloons. She has on a pair of white diamond pattern socks. The shoes she is wearing do not fit properly and have age related wear.
She has a fully jointed wood and composition body. The paint on it is in rough condition with paint chipping by the neck area and joints. It appears to have been repainted at one time and has lots of wear to the finish. Despite this, it is very sturdy. It is heavy, chunky and very muscular.
This doll is very big and would look nice seated in an old rocking chair.

Feedback and Detailed Seller Ratings
Positive Feedback For You.
I will do my best to leave positive feedback for you as soon as your item ships. However, during busy periods, it may take a couple of days before I leave positive feedback for you, so I ask that you please be patient, and rest assured that I haven't forgotten about you, and that I will get to it as soon as I can.
Please leave us Five-Star DSR's (Star Ratings) after your item arrives, if you are pleased with your purchase, shipping speed, and customer service.
I politely request that you leave positive feedback for me and 100% FIVE-STAR scores.
The (DSR) star rating scores in Ebay feedback plays an important part in my success on eBay. I am not a big business and am just selling here to make some extra money to pay some bills.
Even though many people consider "4-Stars" to be a good score... eBay considers "4-Stars" to be sub-standard. In fact, anything less than 5-stars actually hurts my business. (ie: higher monthly fees, and lower visibility in eBay search results.)
Communication Is The Key!
Please remember that I'm only human, and that sometimes I may make a mistake. So... in the unlikely event that something went wrong, or if there's a problem with your purchase... I will do my best to resolve it in an effort to earn a positive feedback... but you have to let me know if something is wrong, otherwise I won't be able to do anything about it.
Negative Feedback posted in haste does NOT solve problems. If anything about your transaction is not to your satisfaction, please contact me BEFORE leaving feedback and BEFORE rating the DSR's (star-scores). I'm an honest seller and I strive to make every customer happy... so if there's a problem, please give me a fair chance to make things right and to earn your Positive Feedback and 100% perfect "Five-Star" scores from you.
The identification and dating of Antiques and Decorative Arts is at times a more or less subjective endeavor. For a variety of reasons, one ‘expert’s’ results can differ from another’s. My descriptions are based on my researches and experience. The time to question these, is before bidding, not after. I go to great lengths to be as accurate as possible and to provide enough photographs to allow the buyer to exercise their own judgment. However, I cannot be responsible for differing opinions, when brought into play after the close of an auction. If you remain uneasy about an item I am listing, even after contacting me, the decision to bid will be your responsibility.
I do not smoke, but do not know how many smoking homes these antique / vintage items have been in for all these years. I do have 2 dogs, but all my items for sale are kept behind glass or away from my pets.
If you have any questions please email me. I would be glad to answer your questions quickly. All sales are final as these items are vintage,antique or very old. Antique or vintage items are used and I never describe them as mint.
Any flaws I see will be noted in auction description. However, antique and vintage items are not perfect and may have imperfections from age that I may have missed by accident. I provide lots of photos at many different angles for you to see the condition very well. Therefore no partial refunds will be allowed. If anything needs to be returned you will pay return shipping. Refund will not include original shipping costs and item must be returned in the same condition as sent. More pictures will be furnished glady upon request. By bidding you agree to these terms. Thanks.
I pack antiques, porcelain, delicates, and collectibles with plenty of care. No need to worry. I usually have very fragile items professionally packed by the UPS Store and pay for that service out of my own pocket. I think my customers are worth the extra effort. Fragile items will be packed in layers of bubblewrap, and the box will be padded with plenty of cushioning.

Payments must be received within 7 days after auction closes otherwise I will file an unpaid item dispute with ebay and relist the item immediately.
If you need a little more time to pay for your items, please email me before making a purchase. There is a possibility we can work out a payment or layaway plan. Just remember to email me for details first, otherwise I need to stick to the original 7 day payment plan as stated above.
If a layaway or payment plan is okayed by me, a non-refundable good faith down payment of 30% must be paid to hold the item. If buyer changes his or her mind, the 30% down is non-refundable and can only be used as a credit in my ebay store and is good for 6 months.
All sales are final. Please ask questions before buying. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have quickly.
More pictures available upon request.

I am not making money on shipping. Shipping cannot be negotiated after the listing ends. Please make sure you agree on shipping price before bidding. I wish the USPS and UPS didn't raise prices. I am so sorry for the extra shipping costs to you and hope you will understand. If the shipping I quote you in the listing is less than I anticipated I will refund you the difference if it is over $4. I have most of my fragile items professionally packed at the UPS Store and pay for it out out of my own pocket. Packing materials are very costly.
Thanks so much for understanding.
Insurance is a must. I fully insure all items. I do not ship my items out unless they are insured. By Bidding you agree to pay the insurance costs which will be calculated at the end of the auction according to the final item price. If item arrives broken, you must keep all of the original packing material and box, otherwise insurance claim will be voided. By bidding or buying you also agree to cooperate with filling out insurance claim forms and filing at your local post office. Insurance claims may take 30 days or more to be paid out.
