It's a good thing those are ultra rare.

I'm confused; they selling the box, the Barbie Healey, or both? Doesn't appear the BH would go in the box, so what's the point?

Based on what I know about Limoges' pieces (wife has a few) the Healy (SIC) is cast as part of the lid.

But, I've been wrong before...

We bought one for $85 a number of years ago. Its cute but not $700 worth. Watch Ebay. They do show up. Hey, its appreciating faster than my BJ8.

The whole thing is the box. The Barbie Healey is attached to the top of the box lid and the bottom of the box is at the split in the gold.

That 'splains it. Thanks.

I think this is what the youngsters call a 'meme.' There's one at work over the sink in the break room: 'Keep calm and do your dishes.'

Same crown, different background.
