    Description

    2 VERY RARE Vtg 1930s Native American Hand Carved WOOD SEMINOLE DOLLS MAN WOMAN. These Seminole dolls are very early, 1930s, Hand-carved and hand-painted Cypress wood. They are in excellent condition consistent with age and handling. The male doll measures 9 3/8" tall with a 2 1/2" - 2 5/8" diameter base. He has a repair where his ankles broke and were repaired many, many years ago....probably in the 30s not long after he was made. The repair is very hard to see unless you are studying it very closely (in fact, I missed it when I took the first pictures for my listing and then saw it and have revised the description to reflect it) but there none the less and, I mention it for accuracy in description. I have provided a closeup for your study and, have reduced the starting bid accordingly. The female measures 9 1/4" tall with a 2" - 2 1/2" base. The man wears his typical period dress and tunic while the woman is wearing her period clothing as well as her classic board hairdo. The woman's board hairdo has a few little chips in the edge but doesn't take away from this fine example of an early Seminole doll. These are extremely rare and as this pair were, no doubt, originally intended as a pair.... they are even moreso. Extreme care will be afforded in packaging.
    Don't miss out! Have fun bidding!! From a Smoke Free Home!

    Most of the items that I sell here are vintage, antique,  and/or used and may sometimes have signs of wear or age. I describe all items as best as I can so that you have an accurate description of the item to help you make the decision as to bid or not and, of course, how much you might wish to bid. I ask you, the bidder, to ask any and all question about the item BEFORE you bid.
    This is an online auction site....not a retail store and, I run ONLY AUCTIONS on my ebay page. Therefore, as in any offline auction house, you have the opportunity to observe the item, ask questions and then bid accordingly. If you are the high bidder of the item at the time the auction ends, you have purchased the item and, as soon as payment is made, you will be the new owner. I DO NOT give refunds, ordinarily, unless I have made a drastic mistake in the listing or missed a major flaw which I inadvertantly failed to include in the item description. If this happens, I am always ready to work with the winning bidder to fully resolve the issue. This might include full refund upon return in like condition the item purchased. However, I don't suffer scam artists, rudeness, or anybody with common, everyday buyer's remorse.
    PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS of the end of the auction. I accept PAYPAL ONLY. Responsibility to pay within the three days is the bidder's. Failure to pay within the alloted time will result in issuance of a Non-Paying Bidder Alert to the appropriate ebay department and, the item will be re-listed. If you have reasonable extenuating circumstances which might cause you delay in payment, please, contact me.
    Shipping is normally done via USPS Priority; for large, heavy, or awkward items, Fedex Ground can be used. Delivery Confirmation is used on ALL items. Insurance is included, at my expense, for items over 0.00. Shipping is done within 48 hours of received Paypal payment. Postal holidays and/or weekends might extend the time of shipping by a day or so. I always do my best to get it to you pronto!
    I reserve the right to cancel bidders who have few transactions and/or negative feedback.
