Collectible Vintage Male Doll,16-inch Young Boy Limited Addition, Fashion Designer Doll Display Figurine, Victorian Antique hotsell Style Porcelain
This is a wonderful doll from The Gorham Joyful Years Collection His name is William.
This is a wonderful doll from The Gorham Joyful Years Collection. His name is William and he was a 1989 1st limited collection of only 1,000 dolls.
He is made of porcelain and is hand painted and hand numbered (he is #109) . His clothes are original and are in perfect shape, as is he, and he's 16" tall.
He comes with his certificate of authenticity and is in his original box. I have been unable to find a single 16" limited edition Gorham doll named William for sale so he appears to be fairly rare and thus highly collectible. There are many 15" Williams with a different and cheaper outfit that are not limited editions.
Price guide to Contemporary Collectibles states that his issue price was $295 so this is a great deal.
This doll is NOT intended for children as it has small parts that can come off which posses a choking hazard. Be sure doll is out of reach of small children.
Strings could use some tightening but not necessary if his body is supported against a wall or other surface.
