My mom bought this doll in November 1997; actually, she
bought all 3: Red (this one), White <-SOLD , & P ink<-SOLD .
They came in a Mattel "3-doll" shipper box. That's
where they have remained, in a climate- controlled
doll closet since shortly after purchase.

Condition: Excellent. Has been kept in its original shipper box in a climate-controlled doll closet since shortly after purchase in November 1997. The only issue is at the front bottom edge, there's a fine white dotted line from the shipper box, I'd assume. (photo 7; all 3 of the Marilyn boxes [sold separately] have this same dotted line.) All sides of the box are shown. Gorgeous! Perfect for the collector.

"Back of box" photos appear washed-out due to
the black contrast. (& my lack of photo skills)

History : I am selling my late mother's doll collection. She had thousands, mostly Barbies, & was a UFDC member. I have been selling her dolls on eBay since 2011. Almost all of her dolls were packed away in boxes in a climate-controlled doll closet soon after purchase. Relatively few were displayed. I'm spending a lot of time with each doll, writing detailed descriptions, including flaws, & taking lots of photos. As the last surviving member of my family, I have boxes & boxes of things collected & accumulated by my parents, sister, & grandparents. I'm concentrating on my mother's dolls, but may veer off in another direction if the mood strikes me. If you have questions, please ask. Please check back often, as I'm trying to list something each day. Thanks for looking! PAYPAL ONLY - - - - - - - ALL SALES FINAL SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA & CANADA ONLY
