This doll has literally never been out of the box, hmmm, wonder why, no one wants to play with a Nun?? She has blue "sleep" eyes. This is another mystery, the silver label on the original box says "Religious Series Nun" then a number that is illegible. The gift card says to Fran(my Mom), and '549', I don't know what the 549 means, if that is the series number or what?? Another mystery for the CW minds, Michelle

Oh my! I had one of these when I was a teenager but she burned in a house fire. I thinks she was my favorite item of all times, minus my family. I have not seen another since. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Mammi, she has never been out of the box. I promise if ever I must part with her, I will tell you. I was raised in SoCal, and am deathly afraid of fire!! I'm glad you and family were o.k.!!
Thank you for the loves everybody, I see why she is in perfect condition, kids would be afraid to play with a Nun doll!!!
Mammi, if you follow one of the links above, there is one for sale on e-bay, kinda spendy, I think it was $95.00. Thank you again, Mich
