Vintage Patchwork Seminole Indian Palmetto Frond Doll Native American

Description

Offered is a wonderful, older-style Seminole Palmetto Doll with a fancy patchwork dress.
The doll measures 8" tall. She has a beautiful fancy skirt, three strands of colored beads around her neck and the traditional bonnet.
This is the older style, dating to most likely the 1940s or before. There is darkening to the lighter parts of the dress--sometimes the color is a muslin or ivory or even white. This was probably originally a light tan/muslin color as you can see the contrast with the inner and outer skirts. There are also a few darker stains. The doll does NOT smell musty.
This also came from the same Florida estate as the miniature Cherokee basket.
General Information about our business, shipping, holding items,
etc.:
* Most of the items we sell come from our personal collection gathered over the years from our travels, from Native powwows and craft stores, antique shops, auctions and estate sales. Now that our kids are in college and beyond, we are letting some items go so others can enjoy them.
*We w
ill gladly combine orders to save you on shipping charges.   Please email for a combined invoice before paying. Sometimes a few first class items jump to priority pricing (.25 and up) because weight puts a package over the 16 ounce limit. Sorry, I can't combine collectibles and book/Magazine purchases.
*If you want me to hold items for the next week's auction, please contact me and
wait
to pay until the last auction ends. Then I'll send you a combined invoice. If you pay right away, I will NOT be able to hold your items due to Ebay's ship within 1-day after payment rule. Please tell me if you are waiting for next week's auction. If you don't communicate and don't pay, you will get an automated non-paying bidder notice from Ebay after 4 days. Thank you!
*International Buyers:
I will mail first class to Canada but to all other locations, I prefer to mail priority to insure your item arrives safely. Please email me with questions. Sorry for the expense, but  I've had items lost overseas when mailing first class and don't want to take the risk of losing items.
*I pack carefully and try to reuse materials to save on environmental impact. I often double-box items with smaller gift boxes collected from various thrift stores. Though I don't like styrofoam peanuts for environmental reasons, I have found they are the best at protecting fragile  items against damage during shipping. I reuse all that I receive and hope you will make use of the ones that come in your packages. Thank you.
* Please contact us before leaving negative feedback if something isn't right with your item. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase
