Description

1950s Vintage 18" Arranbee R&B Nanette Ballerina
with Vivid Eyes
The doll's neck is marked "R&B."  She stands almost 18 inches tall and
is made of hard plastic and is a strung doll with tight joints allowing her to pose very well.
She is an earlier hard plastic doll seen in her darker "tan" skin tone with lighter colored eyelids.
She has beautiful original facial coloring with full upper lashes. She has very vivid lovely blue eyes.
She has her original wig setting nicely still in place with flowers in her hair.  She has a satin dancing suit and ballet slippers with ribbons around her ankles.
Satin suit has a faint spot on the front of the suit - see image.
Undies also are satin matching the suit but without an attachment at the waist.
Small scuff mark on her shoulder and on her face that might clean off.
The history of any repair or past environments is unknown.
I haven't noticed any offensive odors.
My home is smoke free and she has been in my home for a brief stay only.
** Item is NOT mint but shows evidence of being loved. I have tried to photograph her from all sides with her wardrobe and without.  I'm only allowed 12 photos on Ebay.
If you need more photos, ASK.
I have mentioned flaws that I have noticed but I'm not an expert so there may be others.  Ask questions about what's important to you that I did not show in photos or mention in the description.  I will answer if I can. I don't guarantee that I will know but I try.

I will message the buyer after payment is received before I ship the doll.  A reply is greatly appreciated.

*Restrictions on bidding:
For this auction, I require Ebay memberships created before May 2021.  I reserve the right to cancel bids of Ebay profiles that do not meet these requirements.  I am sorry to disappoint you.
SHIPPING
Doll is packaged very carefully.  She is wrapped gently in tissue paper first and then bubble wrap.  Bubble wrap will be lightly sealed with easy to remove scotch tape so that you do NOT have to use scissors to unwrap the doll. I then use packing peanuts around the doll to cushion her securely within the box.
The buyer's name MUST be the name on the shipping label.  -
(I do not do
"in care of" type of labels using
C/O or CO).  If a name appears on the address different than the name of the buyer, I may cancel the order.
A
signature will be required upon delivery.
If you have questions about shipping, ASK BEFORE you bid.
