And a Hakata doll: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191284631046?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Both I am starting for low opening bids, so here's a good chance at owning one of these antique beauties.  I am a professional doll restorer and preservationist with 100% feedback, so bid with confidence. 

 I will also be listing a bisque Japanese girl with human hair later.

I am *thinking* about selling a very, very special doll from my actual collection.  She is 100% one of a kind, made by a doll artist in Japan.  I have an idea of WHO she is likely made by, and it is a very famous doll maker who has several books out.  Cannot prove it, so will not say for sure.  She does not have her original paper work.  Otherwise, she is all original.

As you can see, she is hand painted.  What you can't see, is that she is jointed.  Before the big BJD craze, these dolls were known previously as mitsuore dolls.  :3  Her wrists and elbows are articulated.  As is her neck, and her ankles, knees, and hips.  Her shoulders are not articulated, her elbows are attached to a cloth sock that is attached to her shoulders to allow more freedom of posing.  Her body is covered in thin, chirimen silk, a very time-intensive labor!  Her kimono is completely original to her, though the silks are much older than she is, but reuse of antique and vintage kimono silk is very common among art dolls like this one.  She is completely one of a kind and hand-made.  I'm looking to take offers from interested parties.

I just bought a second car, and my finances are kind of rough right now.  I need to get my back brakes and tires replaced on my daily driver, before I can even get my second ( for restoration, it's a car I've been wanting for 10 years, and is 11 years older than I am.  I'm 27.  hahaha. ) car registered and plated. . .  I'm just looking to get my bank account back up and because I made such a major purchase, I do really need to let go of some things.

She's from the late 1930's, early 1940's, and in fantastic condition.  Nearly mint, and unplayed with.

Ah! Last day to bid is tomorrow!  I can't believe there's no bids!  Kind of worrying me.
