This doll is from my personal collection. I have had her for almost 20 years. I purchased this Francie from her original owner who bought her in December 1969. Francie has only had two owners. Francie has been kept in a well ventilated climate controlled environment and away from direct light while she has been in my possession FRANCIE IS MINT. I do not see any pale spots or dark marks or any other imperfections on her. No white plasticizer spots on her face. She is untouched. The only thing to mention about the doll is that her original yellow headband has sprung loose over her head. Her original hair string is still attached FRANCIE IS FACTORY SEALED. The factory cello is 100% present. There is a rub on one bottom corner, and a half-inch tear at that same corner (picture 14). There is one half-inch tear in the cardboard inside the box at the upper arm hole (picture 8). Also, the original owner wrote "Dec. 1969" in blue ink on the oval sticker (picture 9). The wrist tag, x-stand, and booklet are MIB, NRFB, and sealed in the box with Francie.FRANCIE IS IN A RARE BOX. This is a second edition Francie box. This box was only used for a short time before Mattel released the MOD dolls in floral boxes. In pictures 10-15, note that a short Flip Francie is pictured on the ends, sides, and back of the box. (This is different from the more commonly seen blue box which features a long hair blonde TNT Francie.)Short Flip Francie in the green box is very hard to find ... especially one that is still FACTORY SEALED. It would be hard to find a better example of this doll in this box.There is no "best offer" option on this listing Questions welcome.No returns. No international shipping Francie will be double boxed and shipped Priority Mail with full insurance.Thank you for shopping with me!******NOTE: Pictures 16, 17, and 18 were taken outside at about 7:30pm.
