All items are in mint condition and
have never been removed from the original boxes from new. Light storage wear to outer boxes with a small
hole to the back of one of the outfit boxes but with absolutely no detriment to
contents or structure of box.
The Josephine doll was made for a limited amount
of time by the Franklin Mint and consequently this collection is very
rare. Extremely difficult to find one of
these ensembles boxed as new, let alone three.
