HISTORY OF THIS ITEM

You are buying from the son of the original owner. This auction item was never owned nor played with by a child. I am selling on behalf of my elderly mother who collected dolls as an adult, between the mid 1950s through the late 1980s. She worked in a department store toy and catalog department, and loved to buy the merchandise. Later in her life she did some traveling and bought some items outside her job location and added to her collection. She never bought used. She rarely took any of the toys out of the boxes, but just loved to buy, store, and display the toys at home, as is, in their original boxes.

Also a word about the storage of these dolls.  These dolls were stored over the years in ideal conditions. That is they were stored in the living area of the home in empty bedrooms and closets. Neither basements nor hot attics. Neither in direct sunlight. Many were rotated from storage to display shelves to be viewed and then back to storage. They have been exposed to pretty much a constant temperature and humidity of the living area of a Michigan home. A better way of stating this is that these dolls were NEVER stored in the basement exposed to humid conditions or in the heat of a hot attic. Let me also add that they have been in both a pet free, child free, and smoke free home.

I am NOT a collector or an expert on Barbie Dolls or Action Figures. My mother was the expert… not me! I have no expertise in this area of collecting. I am NOT a dealer either. So please bid accordingly and realize that I cannot answer questions that a doll collector would know.

Now, if you plan to bid, please read on…..
