RARE Blond Variant Leona Miller Marge Crunkleton Figurine NOTE SIGNED BY ARTIST

This is a true collector's unicorn!  Exceptionally rare variation of the beloved Leona Miller figurine from the Lincoln County Garden Club Series III.  While standard Leona figures feature the traditional grey "senior" hair, this piece is a rare blond variant, making it an anomaly in her famous folk-art collection.

It is accompanied by a hand-signed note from the artist, Marge Crunkleton, providing excellent provenance that the blond hair wasn't a factory mistake, but a deliberate, humorous, and rather playful choice by Marge Crunkleton, and her personal touch on this rare 1991 variant.

The note reads: "Well, I finally went blond.  How do you like it?  I feel funny, I just don't feel like myself.  At 82 I decided I'd find out if blonds have more fun.  Marge Crunkleton".

Leona is still firmly affixed in her original box, with the note tied around her ankles with a ribbon.  

Includes the original box and COA.

She's approximately 7.5" tall.
