Description

2005 NANCY WILEY DOROTHY (WIZARD OF OZ) PORCELAIN DOLL (SIGNED and #) – L.A. P-UP ONLY
2005 Nancy Wiley Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) Porcelain, Fabric and Resin Doll.  Rare and hard-to-find. Pictures are from the Doll and not a glossy website (which is illegal without permission from the artist / manufacturer).  I hope I have captured the beauty of Dorothy and the gang.  Included is a written Valuation / Appraisal (2015) by a Los Angeles based insurance company for a higher dollar valuation than listed at.
Because of the size of the doll (31″) and in the spirit of insuring the integrity of this Porcelain, Fabric and Resin doll…pick-up only in Porter Ranch (San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles). Pictures have not been enhanced and were taken with my iPhone 8+.
