This is a nice, vintage Strawberry Shortcake Raspberry Tart Kenner rag doll. She comes to you presenting very nicely, but not perfect.

I have inspected for flaws and I didn't start finding them until I handled her extensively. There's a few little brown age spots in her dress and hat, most very small and not noticeable until you're looking up close. I also noticed an equally minor one on one foot after doing the photos. Both hands have some marking to them, including an additional mark under one sleeve. Honestly, I think most of these flaws could be cleaned with some hydrogen peroxide, I just don't have the sunlight to do it right now. 

Overall, I think nice for a child to play with or to add to a beginner collection. The face is nice and I think that's one of the most important parts There are all sorts of reproduction rag dolls out there these days. Why go repro when you can have the original?!

Note: Free shipping includes her being shipped in a large padded envelope. 

Strawberry Shortcake is my specialty. I've recently acquired a huge lot Strawberry Shortcake dolls and other rare items. Please check out my other auctions and bid with confidence. I'm always happy to combine shipping.

The fine print 

*eBay is my full-time job, but I'm not available 24/7. I try to be prompt in responses and shipping. I do not have the time and resources of a large company. I'm not perfect but I try to work with my customers and acknowledge mistakes. I've been on eBay since 1997 and have had few unhappy experiences.

*I typically ship by the end of the next business day and post office picks up in the morning. (If you pay at 10 am on Monday, the latest it will be with the post office is Wednesday. If you get your payment in by 3 p.m. EST it will likely be in Tuesday's mail.) Friday payments might not get to the mail until Tuesday if I have a personal life over the weekend. International buyers, I sometimes take an extra day with your items.

* I ship international items as merchandise, not gifts and I do not change the value of the item to help you with customs fees. All customs/import fees are your responsibility. 

*If you have specific shipping or payment needs, please communicate before buying/bidding through a personal message, not through eBay checkout. I do NOT hold Buy it Now items and will open unpaid item cases after 3-5 days.

* All priority mail domestic items are insured. Tracking is provided on all items through an ebay generated email once a shipping label has been created. International buyers, first class shipping does not include detailed tracking to all countries.

 * I am always happy to combine shipping based on the smallest available box and weight for both lots.

 *I use automated feedback.. leave me positive feedback, you'll get it in return.
