Rimowa Integral Vintage Aluminum Travel Train Makeup Carry On Case Germany

RimowaPictured here is a Germany made Vintage Rimowa Integral Aluminum Travel / Makeup / Train / Carry On Case.  Has seen some use, but these cases were made to last.  Has some small dents and scratches but still very serviceable and has that classic Rimowa look.

The case has a mirror mounted on the inside of the lid.  The mirror has some damage and could easily be replaced if desired.  Hinges and latch all work well and the key does lock the case.  The case measures 15″ x 9″ x 8″.

Please examine the pictures closely for condition (and excuse my reflection in the mirror).  This is really a nice classic piece of lightweight vintage luggage available in our ebay store connectibles.

Antique Bisque 24″ Armand Marseille 390 Doll 7-1/2 Grand Dame Costume and Jewels

Pictured here is a beautiful Armand Marseille 24″ antique bisque doll, fresh from a local collector who took GREAT care of her beloved dolls and had extremely elaborate costumes designed for each one. She is the most elegantly dressed doll we’ve ever offered with a flowing cloak trimmed in Ostrich feathers, beaded purse, gilded fan, real kidskin gloves and tiara! A true “Grande Dame”, ready for a night at the opera.

Marked A 7-1/2 M on back of head, remnants of “made in Germany” on back. Hand sewn outfit has so many elegant layers that I decided NOT to undress her and possibly damage the clothing. Dripping with jewels and accessories, I believe the custom designed one of a kind outfit alone cost nearly $450.

Doll head is in excellent condition, no cracks or repairs. Eyes seem to stay open and I decided not to nudge them, although they are on a rocker.  Dimple in chin, real lashes as well as painted, blue glass eyes.

  • Human hair wig has crystal tiara as well as feathered headdress (slight bend in a feather.)
  • Long cloak has gold loops that allow doll to wear the cape by placing arms through the open loops.VERY beautiful.
  • Compo body underneath the clothing. I did see one area with a flake on arm.
  • Hand sewn clothing has incredible embellishment and details. Jewelry includes necklace earrings, with crystals on shoes and wrists.
  • Charming hanging purse AND folding fan, all beautiful and excellent.
  • Silk Dress has petticoat, netting, very full bosom, snaps in back. Excellent.
  • Doll stand included, ready to display.

An exceptional doll, one of a kind design, ready to join your collection.  She can be found in our ebay store connectibles.
