Dressed in a white gown and trimmed in gold, this figure has many ruffles, many bows, many roses and lots of class! Her hair has many ringlets, on top, and in the back. The original price tag is still on her dress at the bottom (see photo), and it came from the Lamson Bros Store in Toledo.

The book shows the Nell Gwyn name spelled with an "E", but my source said they are spelled both ways, depending who the artist was. T is some very minor lace damage on the right shoulder and bodice, but it honestly does not show that much at all. You have to really look to see the ruffles are on the left shoulder, but not the right. She has full hands and fingers and the left hand is holding a rose. The fingers and hands are perfect! This is one of the most elegant Florences we have seen. We had one of these about 22 years ago, and honestly have not seen one on the market to buy since then. This is estate fresh from an old house in NW Ohio. She was in her original box, but it had to be discarded read more
