Jan McLean has won many international awards for quality and design. All dolls are signed and numbered on the back of the head. This is #73/5000. 2001. She has been removed from box and was displayed in a guest doll room for less than a year. My son moved back home and my dolls went back in box. She is over twenty years old and is in really great condition except her boots. When I took her out to take photo's that was the only thing that had a problem. The pink paint had started peeling in spots on her boots. It isn't showing up too well in photo's. I tried touching it up with a pink marker but it was too light. I'm sure you could touch it up with a darker pink marker or even with paint. Other than that her faux leather outfit is perfect, her hair looks great. She will come with her Certificate of Authenticity and there a stand that came with her, it's in the box. Just put the pointy tips into the holes. This is the large 25" hard to find Cissy, there was a smaller one which was nothing like this one as far as detail.
