    Description

    This auction is for one of my most favorite artists
    Charleen Kinser..this is a cloth doll she calls Polly and from what I understand Charleen designed her when she became a grandmother, trying out a new line.  She was never produced commercially and is either one of a kind or one of a very few.  Polly is a loose stuffed, floppy, and except for her swivel head, she is an unjointed long legged cloth doll.  She is colorfully outfitted in a non removable dress. Charleen signed her on her ear and she has typical Forever Toys cloth tags sewn in.  She never had a booklet, nor did the kitty.   She is the only item available for sale in this auction, but kitty is available in another of my listings....they make a wonderful pair for the serious Kinser collector.   Charleen’s
    work is always clever, fun and
    beautifully made. I found both parents and collectors were always excited to see any new work I got of hers to add to their collection.  Polly and her kitty are part of my extensive remaining Kinser inventory and are new old store stock stored   I will be listing other wonderful Kinser creations in separate auctions
    .  I have been in the collectible doll and bear business from the late 1980’s to the early 2000’s, setting up at bear shows and listing on eBay (as cmporter) until I had to stop because of health issues.  During my time on eBay, I had earned over 1100 positive feedbacks all of which disappeared when I had to change my user name because of a major hack.  I think the pictures should give a true representation of this unusual Kinser creation, but if you need to see more pictures of her please email and let me know. Also, I welcome questions so don’t hesitate to ask.  If there are any other artists, VanderBears,
    LE Steiff, R John Wright bears, Kinser etc., that you are looking for, let me know and I will be happy to list it ASAP if I have it!   Thank you for checking this doll out! We try to ship quickly using recycled materials whenever possible.  Shipping costs may be lower depending on where she is headed and we also happily combine multiple purchases to save on shipping cost.
