Original Listing Description

THANKS for visiting my Sale Listing !!You are considering PURCHASINGTWOVINTAGECOLLECTIBLEPRE OWNEDANNA LEE DOLLSModel # 6850 and 6855 - 1986(1) Mr. Santa Claus(1) Mrs. Santa ClausThese TWO MATCHING - great - Anna Lee Dolls belonged to my Mother. She loved her Anna Lee's! We inherited them and we are having to downsize so we must part with many of our finest COLLECTIBLES These both are dark BURGUNDY in color. They are not fire engine RED as in most examples. They both are in very good vintage condition with no serious damage. NO holes, cuts, tears to the clothing. They are clean and from a smoke/pet free home. They are each identically supported with the same heavy/sturdy vertical wire that goes up inside the back of there clothes - in the rear. This ONE PIECE, thick/sturdy, long vertical wire forms a CIRCULAR BASE which is covered with COTTON (snow base). Mrs. Claus's snow covered, circular wire base is perfect (photo #9) but I note that the circular wire snow base on Mr. Santa looks to have been possibly(?) slightly modified or reconditioned (See photo #8). The difference in the bottoms of the SNOW bases in both examples are shown in photo #8 and #9. This looks to be a modification of the snow (cotton) wire base for Santa's compared to Mrs. Santa's base which looks original. I have not added/attached additional COTTON to this SNOW base which would basically cover up the modification shown. No big deal here - in my opinion - just something that can occur to some of these more fragile areas over about a 35 year period of time, use and storage. More cotton (snow) and this issue would be basically unnoticeable - in my opinion. I also note a paper scuff at one corner/edge of the paper cardboard holiday "box" that Santa is holding (photo #10). This glossy printed miniature holiday present/box is usually lost over time but this one is fully intact with only super tiny rubs at its sharp corners and the larger rub which is located on the BACK - InSIDE/TOP of the BOX and is extremely difficult to see and or notice. A magic marker of like color would quickly touch these up nicely. Each has a sprig of holly on the inside hood. Mrs. Claus has a faux, white ivory, fur-lined cape, cap/hood and warm hand muff, green scarf and gloves....Santa also has matching green gloves with his famous black boots ADORABLE ... each doll is mobile, pose in any fashion you desire.Burgundy (NOT RED) velour outfits, green gloves, ivory trim, snow bases (Cotton).These FINE vintage examples would make an outstanding addition to anyone's Anna Lee collection Please check-out closely, the many photos that I have posted above for your own, personal evaluation.

I am a little old-fashioned, as you will not find any dancing icons, flashing messages, or background music on my sale listings. My energies are devoted to item description which include an honest assessment of condition (with flaws, defects or shortcomings noted), plus usually an over abundance of clear, close-up photos. I would rather over describe, than have a disappointed customer. SHIPPING HANDLING CHARGES Buyer to pay $14.00 shipping packaging to ANY of the lower 48 UNITED STATES - with tracking Delivery included. Insurance provided by Seller when applicable. My shipping cost is a flat rate estimate. My shipping charges are based on shipping from LOS ANGELES. Needless to say, I do not know the specific destination, in the Continental USA, that this item will be shipped to. So if you think the estimated shipping packaging charges are not reasonable, please simply reduce the amount of your bid to what YOU think the shipping cost SHOULD BE. USPS shipping charges have skyrocketed the past couple years - as many of you know. My intentions are to NOT make any profit on my shipping packaging charges. I have lost money on my estimated, flat rate shipping charges in some instances - in the past. I DO NOT SHIP TO ANY PayPal UNCONFIRMED ADDRESS.

So, if you are happy with your TRANSACTION PLEASE RESPOND WITH ALL 5 STARS. IF YOU ARE NOT PLEASED/HAPPY then just LET ME KNOW and WE WILL WORK to try and MAKE IT THAT WAY very quickly. All sales are FINAL unless item is grossly misrepresented. THANKS, GOOD LUCK shopping. and I look forward to working with the lucky successful purchaser real soon.
