1900s ARMAND MARSEILLE BOXED 38” PRINCESS DOLL MOLD #17 BISQUE COMPOSITION

CONDITION NOTES: Here we have a gorgeous 38” Armand Marseille bisque/composition ball jointed doll from ca. 1900. Her condition is incredible, and she comes with the original shipping box, something I have never seen before now! Inside the box are some extra clothes, some bedding, and a doll pillow, and I assume it’s all original with this doll. I found a significant problem with the eye balls of this doll. It seems that the top of both eye balls are broken and will need to be replaced before her sleep eye function will be useable. As you can see from the close up pictures of her face, this issue does not affect her display; however, I thought I should mention it. Her head is otherwise free of issues.  Otherwise, she shows no major damage, she is pretty well strung, and her wig remains beautiful and might even be in the original hairset. Her eyebrows show minor paint rub and her eyelashes, cheeks, and lips are in excellent condition. She features light paint marks for tear ducts and nostrils, and her face displays beautifully. Her body is in excellent condition with minor paint rub here and there and some minor striations that are to be expected on all dolls of this age and type. Her fingertips show a little wear but her hands are overall in great shape and will display beautifully. She is marked “A.17.M” on the back of her head. Her outfit is in wonderful shape for its age and is free from any major rips, tears, stains, foul odors, and markings, and may show a tiny bit of fraying here and there. Anything that is white appears to be “antique” white, and can be carefully hand-laundered to bring back the original brilliance. Her socks, shoes, and undergarments are likewise in excellent condition. This doll is from a smoke free home with no prominent or foul odors. You’ll be very impressed!

This doll is part of a fantastic collection of vintage bisque, composition, hard plastic, vinyl and other type dolls and accessories I will be posting to Ebay this week. I always combine shipping for multiple auction winners so please take a look at our other auctions and save on shipping!

Please note that the camera picks up lint and dust resting on the toys and accessories that may appear as flaws. Please examine each picture carefully for actual flaws keeping in mind that most of these toys look far better in person than they do in the pictures. I will note in the CONDITION NOTES any details or flaws that are not readily apparent in the pictures but please keep in mind that I sometimes miss a small problem. Please feel free to email me if you have a question or if you see something I missed so I can correct the auction.

Here is some important information about feedback. Ebay recently made changes to the feedback system - sellers are penalized if feedback scores lower than 5 are left for a seller. These penalties are described below: A rating below 4.9: Seller pays an additional 5% in fees to sell on Ebay A rating below 4.8: Seller pays an additional 10% in fees to sell on Ebay, and seller's listings are demoted in Ebay's search - making them harder to find A rating below 4.6: Seller pays an additional 5% in fees to sell on Ebay and loses powwer seller status. Listings are further demoted in Ebay's search A rating below 4.3: Penalty -Seller's listings are moved to the last pages of search results A rating below 4.1: Penalty - Seller is no longer allowed to list on Ebay. Ebay tells you a "4" rating means the item was accurately described, that you were satisfied with the seller's communication, the item was shipped quickly, and the shipping charges were reasonable - however, Ebay treats a "4" as a request to terminate the sellers' Ebay account, charge the seller more, and make a seller's items hard to find. To help keep our selling/buying costs low, please leave 5's for feedback. If you have any issue with a transaction, please contact me. I will happily work with you to resolve any problem!
