Subject: [DollsForSale] Rare publication for M.A. research
Rare copy of one of the earliest Madame Alexander Doll Club publications. I'm listing it on ebay, 3303344277217 Good research! I never knew MA had furniture! Loads of research. MW Mint copy of a rare issue of the Madame Alexander Doll Collector's Club, Volume 1, Issue 2. Based in Melbourne Florida by the Ross family.There were 500 members and they were planning the first MA Convention. They had permission from Madame to use her copyrighted box for the cover, and to start what I believe was the first authorized club. The Rosses had met with Madame and also had conferred with the MACompany and had permission to reprint one of their articles, updated. There are 32 pages, most of them with Rick Rosses' profound knowledge. he had already written an encyclopedia of MA Dolls. However, this was their last issue. I remember Carol telling us why but I don't remember anything other than a controversy over whether they had a right to have this club. needless to say their was no convention by them either. At that time Rick knew more than anyone else about the dolls, had an extensive collection, and had given extensive programs. They lived quite a ways from lakeland but were active in the tropical Doll Study Club there. This would be an excellent item to add to a collection, you will probably never see this again. Mine had not been opened until today, and I have the envelope it came in
