3 day auction-- I have LOWERED Francie's price because of 2 other issues I found with her.
For those of you who have too many Francie clothes and accessories and not enough dolls to display them, here is a nude Francie in very nice condition! She has blond hair with a few missing hair plugs that can be covered by her hair when she gets a redo that will tame her wild hair. She has lovely face paint and I believe she has every one of her long lashes. There are no bite marks or tears in her vinyl and her knees click nicely. Her bottom reads: ‘c 1966/ Matteel, Inc./ U.S. Patented/ U.S. Pat. Pend./ Made in Japan.’
Francie’s issues are a small area over each knee where her skin has turned to a beige color and that one leg is slightly lighter than the other. There are 2 dark dots in the back at the tops of each leg and a bump on one ankle, but I believe those are probably supposed to be there because of the wire inside for bending. However, the biggest problem is the bit of missing vinyl at the end of her nose and what looks like a bubble at the end of one toe!
I am not a Francie or Barbie collector, so may have left out some information that is important to you. Please feel free to contact me for more info. and pictures.
This pretty girl came to me through an e-bay purchase. I have a smoke free home and I do not smell unpleasant odors on her, but I cannot guarrantee what environment she came from. In my opinion, this she will make an excellent addition to your collection.
***I will combine shipment on multiple wins of my other auctions at no, or very little additional shipping. Please e-mail any questions before you bid. Cost of purchase less shipping will be refunded if item is shown to be not as described. Buyer must contact seller within 3 days of receiving item and before item is shipped back.
*** Personal checks (not held until bank clears with 100 consecutive positive feedbacks) or money orders/cashier checks are accepted. PayPal is also accepted. The U.S. buyer pays for 1st Class shipping or Priority Mail--see ‘Postage Calculator’ in this ad. Insurance is optional. I want to state that I recycle my mailing materials and only charge .75 over actual postage which covers, Delivery Confirmation number, printer ink for postage, packing tape, and gas to the Post Office or to meet the mailman a mile away. I will have the actual postage cost printed on the postage and will refund any amount that I may accidently overcharge due to overestimating the weight using my old kitchen scales. I will try to mail USA packages within 2 working days.
*** INTERNATIONAL BUYERS should ask about different charges for shipping (with $1.00 added for handling) and MUST pay through PayPal. To do my part to conserve fuel, I am going to the post office once a week now. Most packages will be sent within 7 days or less.
Payment is due within 10 days of auction end. Thanks for looking--and bidding! :-)
