Description

SEYMOUR MANN LINDA PORCELAIN DOLL ALL ORIGINAL MINT IN BOX WITH ORIGINAL TAGS
An original Seymour Mann Connoisseur Collection limited edition porcelain “Linda” doll complete with her original clothes, miniature teddy bear, tags and Certificate of Authenticity.
The doll is signed “Mann” on the back of her neck (see the photo).
There is no doll stand with this doll.
The doll was displayed for a few years but has never been played with and is in pristine original condition.
She has now been in storage in a safe place in our smoke-free home for several years.
I purchased her new in 1988 and have owned her ever since.
The doll’s head is porcelain but cannot be posed.
She is cloth bodied with just her lower arms and legs being porcelain.
Her arms and legs are flexible and movable but will not hold a pose.
It appears that her eyes are glass “paperweight” type eyes.
She also appears to have been hand painted (eyelashes, color on cheeks and lips)
I do my best to describe all items as accurately as possible and to the best of my ability.
Some of my photos may be somewhat lighter or darker than actual to better show detail or color.
However, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or with requests for additional pictures.
I will get back to you as soon as I am able.
I want your transaction with me to be exactly the way I want mine to be when I am the buyer.

The doll is in very good original condition.
Please look closely at the photos as they are an important part of my description of this item.

There are no marks, cracks or loss to the porcelain.
I see no signs of wear or any damage to the clothing or accessories.

It will be either just to the right of center towards the bottom or slightly above center on the right side of the photo.
