RESTORATION INFO:
Sometimes these 50-80 year old dolls just don’t survive the test of time very well. Restoration is needed. Finding a skilled restorationist is as hard to find as the rare doll itself. Doll Hospitals and restorers can charge $12.00-$15.00 per inch and this does not even include wigs or clothes! This is a ART. A labor of love & mostly a lot of sanding. With these collectible pieces, I have done my best to keep the doll looking as original as possible when the doll was factory made. With that being said, These are still Vintage & Antique dolls. Composition especially has a lot of factory nuances that other materials do not have. The doll will not be over strung.
This doll has been repaired if needed, and eyes will be clear and a appropriate color. There will be no missing fingers or toes. I use paints which are very similar to the ones used by the factory. The overhaul process includes stripping, filling, sanding, priming, airbrush painting, hand painted features & sealing. I pay special attention to the faces and they are completely smooth. I have been a skilled Artist all my life. My attention to detail of the painted features is expert. To see PHOTOS of my PRIOR restorations see my face book page: The Sewing Doll

The Fine Print:
PLEASE remember when it comes to shipping there are other costs involved other than the shipping rate to USPS. EBAY gets paid a percentage on the SHIPPING! Boxes, tissue, bubble, insurance, time & gas involved all cost something. I try to charge as reasonable as possible and will always combine shipping with a discount if you are winning multiple auctions. I will have to collect sales tax from CALIFORNIA residents as I am located in California. Returns are only taken in Extraordinary circumstances. Shipping to or from is the buyers expense and will not be refunded in the case of a return.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS I participate in EBAY’S Global shipping program ONLY. That Means you will be invoiced directly by EBAY for your purchase for shipping and your own Countries import fees & taxes. I do not sell internationally normally and this program allows you the opportunity to bid on AMERICAN collectibles & vintage items. You are not able to circumvent EBAY’S shipping program, costs, or customs requirements BEFORE or AFTER a purchase.
