Description: ORIGINAL GAY BOB DOLL. 1977 Harvey ROSENBERG GAY BOB Trading Company Inc. The style was quite a thing when it was first manufactured back in 1977 AND it was marketed as the first GAY doll ever made. And anatomically correct!!! These are still considered to be very collectible and are considered historically significant as well. DO NOT SEND ME OFFERS THIS DOLL HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS BOX. That means it is still attached within the box as it was originally manufactured and assembled. The outside of the box may or may not have been removed. The box is shown from all angles and any damage or where is depicted in the photos. This box has some ruffling on the top and bottom edges of the outer box cover and a small gash on the left edge. There’s also somewhere on the right bottom edge, which is shown in the photo. These boxes were made of thin cardboard and not heavily reinforced. That’s why the majority of them have torn up boxes. This one actually looks a little worse than it is in the photos. The doll IS ANATOMICALLY CORRECT. Which also caused calamity. The dog comes with a men’s shoulder bag has an eerie in the left ear a gold chain around the neck and has a plaid shirt, jeans, and boots. The BIGGEST thing with these dolls is the BOX. It was a unique design that even though it was fun? It was not exactly sturdy or built for wear. MOST DOLLS have got torn up damaged boxes. I try to find dolls with NICER BOXES THAT ARE NOT TORN UP, STAINED, RIPPED UP AND DAMAGED. The DOLLS ARE PRICED ACCORDINGLY TO CONDITION. DO NOT SEND ME OFFERS AND DO NOT BERATE ME ON PRICING. If you do not want to pay for a nicer doll, then DON’T. If you want a nicer doll? The price is listed. THERE ARE PLENTY OF DOLLS WITH TRASHED UP PACKAGING LISTED ON EBAY. I try to offer NICER VERSIONS AND MY DOLLS ARE PRICED ACCORDING TO CONDITION. It is very hard to find these dolls with nicer boxes. The box was not the greatest design and they are not very sturdy. If you have any questions about the doll? Please ask BEFORE you transact with me. I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ANY REASON. I have been a seller on eBay for 18 years and I pride myself on providing unique and unusual collectibles to the people that want them and we get them a good home. I do this to support two people in my home as I am the caregiver for my dying spouse and my mentally handicapped sister. I do not have the ability to ship things out to people and then have them come back and return for ridiculous reasons. I do not accept “not as listed” and “not authentic” fake claims. Your item will be inspected before shipping and will be carefully packed to avoid damage. And it will be insured to full value. Again? If you have any questions? Please ask, and I will do everything I can to help you. Do not send me offers. And please do not treat me like a flea market. Thank you. I appreciate everyone who supports my endeavor to help my family, and I appreciate you looking at my listing!
