    Description

    This auction is for the work of one of my most favorite artists
    Charleen Kinser..this is a cloth kitty.  From what I understand Charleen designed it as a companion piece to go with Polly when she became a grandmother, trying out a new line.  This was never produced commercially and is either one of a kind or one of a very few. Kitty is a loose stuffed, floppy, unjointed cloth creature.  She is black and white mottled on her body, white on her belly and paws. Kitty  has typical Forever Toys cloth tags sewn in but was never signed. She also never had a booklet, nor did Polly.   She is the only item available in this auction, but Polly is available in another of my listings....they make a wonderful pair for the serious Kinser collector.   Charleen’s
    work is always clever, fun and
    beautifully made. I found both parents and collectors were always excited to see any new work I got of hers to add to their collection.  Polly and her kitty are part of my extensive remaining Kinser inventory and are new old store stock stored safely in my non smoking home  I will be listing other wonderful Kinser creations in separate auctions
    .  I have been in the collectible doll and bear business from the late 1980’s to the early 2000’s, setting up at bear shows and listing on eBay (as cmporter) until I had to stop because of health issues.  During my time on eBay, I had earned over 1100 positive feedbacks all of which disappeared when I had to change my user name because of a major hack.  I think the pictures should give a true representation of this unusual Kinser creation, but if you need to see more pictures of her please email and let me know. Also, I welcome questions so don’t hesitate to ask.  If there are any other artists, VanderBears,
    LE Steiff, R John Wright bears, Kinser etc., that you are looking for, let me know and I will be happy to list it ASAP if I have it!   Thank you for checking this kitty out! We try to ship quickly using recycled materials whenever possible.  Shipping costs may be lower depending on where she is headed and we also happily combine multiple purchases to save on shipping cost.
