Bessie by Sebino

This is a photograph of the lower portion of the box for Bessie, an 11-1/2-inch fashion doll by Sebino from 1977/1978.

After seeing a photo of Bessie on Pinterest approximately two years ago, I saved the photo to my phone as a reminder that I needed her in my collection. I eventually (about a month or so ago) saved an eBay search for Bessie. I was notified shortly afterward of a listing for a redressed Bessie. My Bessie needed to be all original with the original box, so I passed on that auction. 

During recent communication with a member of one of my Facebook groups, we chatted about clone Black fashion dolls. I mentioned my desire for Bessie and he shared the link to an auction for, guess what, an NRFB Bessie by Sebino. I couldn't believe it because this doll is extremely difficult to find.

Because of Bessie's rarity, I have installed my doll in DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum where additional photos and details can be found here.
