THIS PIECE HAS BEEN SOLD PREVIOUSLY AND IS LISTED FOR REFERENCE ONLY....
Christmas Belle is part of Muriel Joseph George's "The Little Belles" series and stands 3.5" tall. She is shown on page 30 of Josef Originals 3rd Edition by Jim and Kaye Whitaker and Dee Harris and is valued at $45-50 in excellent condition. Interestingly, this series has a porcelain hanger to attach the porcelain clapper. Later styles of bells had two holes in the doll skirt and the clapper was strung through the holes. BUT she's missing the clapper. She SOLD for $40 plus our flat rate shipping to anywhere in the continental US. I am trying to find her a clapper!
Other bells in this series include Dinner Belle, Chapel Belle, Southern Belle, Vesper Belle, Ding Dong Belle, Mission Belle, Wedding Belle, Adora Belle, School Belle, Blue Belle and Belle of the Ball.
