Surprise your favorite doll lover (or treat yourself) with this beautiful doll.
This is the exquisite Madame Alexander doll, Romeo. He has brown eyes and black hair. Romeo comes in purple coat and red leggings. He wears a blue hat with a red plume. Romeo wears brown felt Renaissance shoes. His face and makeup are clean. His hair is a bit flat in the back from storage. Romeo is about 12 inches tall and comes with his original box, tag, and tissue. He is from the Portrait Children series issued by The Madame Alexander Doll Co. in the early 1980s. Some looseness to his head; otherwise, good condition from the estate of Orpha Lee Clapp Phillips. Stand not included.
Orpha Lee Clapp Phillips, age 93, of Siler City, North Carolina, passed away on Friday, March 30, 2018 at Clapp's Nursing Center in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack Edward Phillips. She was survived by her daughter and son-in-law, a grandson, two great-grandchildren, and two special nieces. Orpha Lee owned and operated Orpha's Knit Shop in Siler City and was co-owner with her husband, Jack in the Chatham Cleaners for many years. She was a member of Piney Grove United Methodist Church.
Note: Madame Alexander dolls tend to became fragile over time. They are strung together inside using rubber bands, which can lose their elasticity and become brittle or break. In addition, legs, arms, and heads become loose. These dolls can be re-strung by a skilled amateur or professional doll repair expert.

If there is a concern or doubt, please ask prior to purchase. Remember that color is a very tricky thing to transmit electronically. There are many variables, including lighting, background, physical filters, digital filters, the capabilities of the monitor on which the image is displayed, and the color perception of the viewer.
We purchase our items primarily at auctions and estate sales.
We purchase from reputable auction houses and dealers, and we test all gems and precious metals. While we are not experts, we try to list each item in as much detail as possible. We cannot describe every tiny nuance; therefore, please use the zoom feature and consider each picture carefully.
All of our jewelry items arrive in a gift box. If you would like a more impressive gift box, we have some available for purchase. If you would like non-jewelry items gift-wrapped, you can purchase gift-wrapping at checkout.
I ship all items the next business day after I receive them. First Class mail generally takes 3-5 business days in the U.S. Priority Mail takes 1-3 days in the U.S. However, please note that it took the US Postal Service 21 days to deliver one First Class package to California.
