205) BLONDE JAPANESE DRESSED BOX FRANCIE #FR-2211

• We set aside one of Shae’s most spectacular dolls to close the boxed doll section of the auction
• This incredible set features a factory mint blonde S/L Francie
• In the Japanese market, the TNT Francie heads (with eyelashes) were sometimes paired with
Francie straight leg bodies. This is the case with this doll and her head is absolutely as mint as can
be
• Her golden blonde hair is held in place with original head cello
• Factory perfect face paint with soft pink lips and blush, thick straight eyelashes
• Face vinyl is a beautiful color, lighter at nose and chin
• Body appears mint, did not remove outfit
• Her Japanese market exclusive fashion includes a coat set with faux fur white trim and matching
hat and pink soft heels
• Underneath the mauve tweed double breasted wool coat is a darling crispy mint floral print
sheath. We have not been able to determine whether this set originally came packaged with this
sheath because previously, we have only seen the coat removed from the package, without an
accompanying dress
• Also included are white gloves and a reattached Francie wrist tag with eyelash brush stapled to
wrist tag (factory)
• The faux fur on coat and hat has somewhat yellowed with age
• Extremely rare Japanese market black pedestal stand with gold Francie logo is included in cello
with matching wool clutch bag
• Also included are the wire portion to stand, original liner and Japanese market fashion booklet
• Tariff sticker present at interior end flap
• Box is marked Blonde, with Japanese paper stock sticker #FR-2211. We were unable to verify the
correct stock number for this very HTF set
• Box is in overall good condition with some age fading and discoloration
• What an unforgettable experience to see this doll in person, and an unforgettable opportunity to
add her to your collection
• Suggested $2500-$3200
