RARE Franklin Mint Porcelain Gibson Girl Night at Opera Prototype Doll 21" Tall

Description

Hello.
You are bidding on a nice, and impossible to find, likely one of a kind doll. A recent purchase from the liquidation of the archives of the Franklin Mint's storage facility in southeastern Pennsylvania, which had many of their pre-production, prototypes, and early work ups of future products from dolls to toys and more. This is a prototype doll, a production sample doll with white sticker tag around the one arm as shown indicating the doll and dress type from the Mint, in the pictures. This is the very large and ornate dress, blonde hair, porcelain and cloth, Heirloom Gibson Girl character in the Night at the Opera Gown, 21 inches tall.  This prototype or preproduction doll, looks identical or close to the ones that were released. Excellent shape with mint sticker attached to the arm as shown, some ink marks on the head around the one eyebrow to carefully clean off, a little glue residue on one hand, maybe something was attached at some point, no wear or other issues seen. Zoom in for details. Beautiful doll for the serious collector.
Large and heavy doll so please add only for shipping and handling with delivery confirmation.
