Seller's Description:
THIS DOLL IS AN ORIGINAL "WORLD DOLL CORP." LIMITED EDITION (#61062) 50TH ANNIVERSARY "GONE WITH THE WIND" PORTRAIT DOLL PORTRAYING THE BLACK SLAVE "MAMMY", WHO WAS PLAYED IN THE MOVIE "GONE WITH THE WIND" BY HATTIE MCDANIELS, THE FIRST BLACK ACTRESS TO HAVE A REALLY SERIOUS SPEAKING ROLL IN A MAJOR FILM PRODUCTION. WHAT MAKES THIS DOLL EXTREMELY UNUSUAL IS THAT SHE IS WEARING A GREY DRESS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL BLACK DRESS IN WHICH THIS DOLL IS NORMALLY FOUND. "MAMMY" IN THE GREY DRESS IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE ON THE SECONDARY MARKET, ESPECIALLY IN MINT CONDITION IN AN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION BOX! THE BOX DOES SHOW SOME SHELF AND HANDLING WEAR FROM ITS' YEARS ON DISPLAY IN AN ANTIQUE SHOP. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT DISCOLORATION IN A FEW PLACES AND A PRICE STICKER WAS REMOVED FROM THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE TRANSPARENT DISPLAY COVER BY A PREVIOUS OWNER WHO ALSO WROTE "# 205" IN SMALL NUMBERS IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE BACK OF THE BOX. "MAMMY" IS ALSO WEARING A WHITE APRON AND A WHITE TURBAN ALONG WITH HER GREY DRESS, AND HAS A PEARL AND GOLD-COLORED BROOCH PINNED AT HER THROAT. "MAMMY" HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BOX FOR DISPLAY. THE BOX CONTAINS A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY, WHICH IS FOUND IN THE BOX BEHIND THE GOLD PANEL. THIS DOLL RETAILS FOR $250.00 ON UP, DEPENDING ON CONDITION, AND IT IS EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND ONE IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION STILL IN THE ORIGINAL BOX! "MAMMY" WOULD MAKE AN OUTSTANDING GIFT FOR THE LADY IN YOUR LIFE WHO COLLECTS BLACK DOLLS, "GONE WITH THE WIND" DOLLS, OR WAR BETWEEN THE STATES RELATED DOLLS. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOUR WIFE, SWEETHEART, MOTHER, DAUGHTER, OR ANY OTHER LADY WHOSE FEELINGS YOU VALUE WILL TRULY LOVE BEING GIFTED WITH THIS DOLL! THIS DOLL IS A TREASURE, AND WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE. $15.00 S&H. BANK CHECK, POSTAL MONEY ORDER OR PERSONAL CHECK. (MUST CLEAR) ADD 3% TO TOTAL AMOUNT DUE FOR CREDIT CARD USE THROUGH PAYPAL.
