1955 JANE RUSSELL PAPER DOLLS BOOK, UNCUT O/F PAGES, STARTING TO PUNCH OUT PDS

Description

Hi!  This is my 1955 JANE RUSSELL PAPER DOLLS BOOK, #2651 Auction.  Most of my collection I purchased in the 70s, 80s, & 90s, but a few more in the early 2000s so even though I'm pretty sure this set is ORIGINAL, I'm not ruling out
REPRINT  because I'm not an expert, just a collector.   However, looking up in a paper doll reference book, it says "2651 Jane Russell (4328)
".  At the beginning of the list, it says "All reprint books listed will carry a number in parenthesis following their titles indicating the original from which the reprint is derived."  So this is probably an ORIGINAL but I'm just quoting what I researched.
1955 JANE RUSSELL PAPER DOLLS BOOK is in UNCUT condition (Pics.1 thru 12 for both covers, inside covers, different pages) all 6 clothes pages are UNCUT (Pics.5,10 thru 12 a few of the pages) but all pages are yellowed/darkened with age and are very fragile to the touch (a tiny rip occurred on one page as I turned it).
Front Cover: Overall shopworn and fragile especially on the corners and near the top and bottom of the spine, Paper Doll starting to escape from her UNPUNCHED POSITION on right side (Pics.1 thru 4) plus the doll "stand" below IS PUNCHED OUT (Pic.4 where I took it aside, Pics.1,3 with it just standing in its position) - also there is a small rip to the right of the paper doll's right foot where the punch out is but it doesn't affect the paper doll's foot Pic.4)- another small rip near the paper doll's right elbow but doesn't affect the right elbow (Pics.1,2).
Inside Front Cover: Shows the PUNCHED OUT Side of the Paper Doll - also a crease shows on the upper arm as well as a discoloration (Pics.5,6) - its all very fragile and delicate to move around - a couple of creases and discoloration towards the top of the inside cover as well as two dark straight-line marks at the head area of the paper doll which I can't identify (Pics.5,6).
Back Cover: Overall shopworn and fragile especially on the left side where the paper doll on the left is starting to PUNCH OUT on her left side (Pics.8,9) as well as the stand is starting also to PUNCH OUT (Pics.8,9).
Inside Back Cover:  Shows the PUNCHED OUT side of the Paper Doll on the right as well as a few creases plus the doll stand on the bottom is hanging by a thread (Pic.10) and may disconnect when I close the cover - you are bidding AS IS.
There are six pages of uncut fashion outfits (Pics.5,10 thru 12 samples) - I just noticed that even though the two original staples (though stained) are still there, the bottom part of the clothes pages has escaped the staple as I speak - again, I remind you that you are bidding AS IS which is deteriorating as I'm typing this description.
Any questions, please e-mail me BEFORE deciding to bid so there will be no disappointment upon delivery.  The starting bid reflects the fragile, delicate, deteriorating condition of this great Paper Dolls Book.  First Class Shipping is available in the U.S.A. ONLY; no international bidders, please.
