i am a lover of dolls and vintage toys and  i am not an expert 
if you are a collector of dolls and vintage items
then What is important to you may not seem important to me
Never assume. 
i describe my items to the best of my ability however i am only human and may miss something


i would like to emphasize that MOST OF my  items  will have signs of wear and age. 
This is the nature of vintage and antique pieces.

if you want something brand new and absolutely perfect then most of my items will not suit you.
