American Girl RETIRED JOSEFINA DOLL Pleasant Company Pre-Mattel

Description

This auction is for a RETIRED JOSEFINA DOLL by Pleasant Company (stamped on back of neck), making her a rare pre-Mattel Josefina as Mattel took over American Girl right around the time Josefina was introduced in 1997.
Josefina has long dark brown hair pulled back into one long braid, tied with a satin hair ribbon. Her hair looks excellent with original shine still there. She has dark brown eyes that open and close as they should. Her neck strings are intact. She has tight limbs (see photo) and can easily hold a pose. There is no floppiness in the limbs and her body is in mint condition. There are no bite mark/chewed fingers or toes.
Josefina will arrive wearing her meet outfit (tagged Pleasant Company) of white camisa, white drawers, maroon skirt with black floral print, brown sash with braided ends, satin hair ribbon. She is wearing black shoes which I am including on a complimentary basis due to not the best of quality.
Also included in this auction is a hardback book entitled A Reward For Josefina (new condition). Plus there is a Meet Josefina pamphlet as well.
