Doll Details:
Beautiful and early Schildkrot turtle mark girl doll, made in the style of a fashion dolly. She has a lovely sweet face, pretty blue fixed glass eyes, and well painted features. Her body is likely the original, and home made, of straw stuffed muslin with a corset body, and some patches on the hips. Her shoulderplate does have a chip as seen, but no chips or cracks to face or head.Her wig is modern, but very like what she would have worn originally.
She wears a handmade antique style greyblue checked cotton dress, very plain, with nice lace edging. Her undergarments are older, as are her socks, and she wears a really lovely pair of real leather reproduction 1880s highbutton boots with white buttons and wood heels.
A really charming girl, lovingly costumed in period attire!
Please check our other auctions, as we have a small but select group of other vintage items and antique dolls up for auction this week!
Kindly Take a Moment and Read This Before Bidding:
Marionettejilly is not a big ol' corporation. We are actually pretty nice folks, with an interest in antiques, fighting upstream against inflation and the economy just like everyone else. In the rare event that there is a problem with an item, just sit back, take a deep breath, and tell us about it calmly. We have not set out to scam you. Chill. All the policies below are just because a couple of folks in the past decided to be meanies. We know you're not like that- we certainly aren't.
Here at Marionettejilly, we try to be accurate with our descriptions- but we aren’t perfect, and we may have missed something that’s important to you-- so ask before an auction ends! We sell mostly vintage and antique items, with wear and the ravages of time as to be expected.
Do not expect our vintage items to be in new or like new condition- many of our items are fragile, played with, and many are over 100 years old.
AND---- many of our items have been in storage for years,
so if you are allergic to dust, or sensitive to certain scents or smells, we do not recommend purchasing vintage items.
Use your own good common sense, and expect an item to have a unique patina and history all its own- with imperfections inherent in antique pieces!
Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 10am to 5 pm, Eastern Standard Time. We cannot answer emails unless they come through the Ebay message system- this protects both parties. Emails received after these hours will be answered as promptly as is possible on the next business day. Please do not expect a response during the weekend- with any luck we are out doing something fun, far far away from the computer!
Quick, Now! Read Our Refund Policy BEFORE You Bid:
If you are unhappy with any item for any reason, it may of course be returned for a full refund of purchase price and original shipping within fourteen days of original shipping date, minus a standard 15% restocking fee, unless the item is one of the few we designate as a 'No Returns' item.
Please note International returns are for purchase price only.
We do not pay return shipping regardless of the reason for return.
Forgive us if we sound somewhat exasperated at this point in time, but just so there is no possible misunderstanding of our policy, we repeat:
We do not pay return shipping
regardless of the reason for return.
Ebay does not support buyers' requests for return shipping- please do not ask.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT OFFER PARTIAL REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON.
There are no exceptions to this policy, and we will report unscrupulous buyers.
Our shipping represents not only postage but also time, gas, packing materials, and, as of July 2011, the 7.5% Final Value Fee that Ebay charges to shipping. We do flat rate shipping so that buyers know in advance what shipping will be before a bid is placed; please be aware that we do not barter about shipping once an item has ended.
We ship most items anywhere in the world, and yes, we will combine shipping on multiple wins.
Combined auctions, no matter how small, are a minimum of an additional .00 per added auction,
for up to four small items; in the case of larger items, such as dolls, shipping will be adjusted according to weight of the total package.
Payment Terms:
Payment is due within 5 days of end of auction.
And, as a final note to the patient people who have bothered to read everything so far: Sorry if we sound crabby. Sometimes people can be so petty and unreasonable it can break your heart. We've had a run of rather awful experiences this season- let's hope it ends soon, before we lose the rest of our hair, our jolly perspective on life in general, and our much-needed sense of humor!!!
