Designed to honor the very first Avon Representative, Mrs. Persus Foster Eames Albee. She was a woman of considerable spirit and style. Mrs. Albee would set out, attired in an outfit very similar to the one that this doll is wearing now. Selling products door-to-door in Winchester, New Hampshire, she represented the California Perfume Company, which would later become Avon.
She is wearing a beautiful yellow gown with white lacy trim on the sleeves and collar, and pink ruffled accents including a delicate train that cascades to the floor. Long white gloves, a cream-colored handbag, and a lovely yellow hat with a pink bow complete this charming ensemble.
The box is brand new, NEVER been opened. There is some slight shelf wear.
Shipping is free (this does not include insurance)! This item comes from my mother-in-laws home where there is one dog and I cannot guarantee no-smoking. I will ship upon receipt of payment. I do suggest the insurance as I am not responsible for items once they have been mailed. NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, please!
