Lucille Ball 2001 "Be a Pal" Doll Episode 3 of I Love Lucy 1951 TV Episode by Mattel
The 2001 Lucy doll from a TV episode 50 years earlier is still a timeless classic! An asset to any collection.
Here's a great collectible from the I Love Lucy TV show. This doll was made in 2001 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the "Be a Pal" episode (which was only the third show in the entire series) and was originally aired on October 22, 1951. So, the way we see it, you have two choices for years applicable to the years you can use for the Best Year Ever: 2001 or 1951! Paperwork includes warranty card, certificate of authenticity, etc.
The Carmen Miranda imitation that Lucille Ball does was (and still is) pretty clever. The contents of the box are new (only removed for photos) and the box is in pretty good shape given its age. The only noticeable flaw is a tear in the box directly below the red I Love Lucy heart on the front of the box. Check out the photos; we think you'll like what you see. Indonesia.

A few things to know about Jeff'sCuriosity Shoppe:
Welcome aboard! We're delighted you stopped in. But first, a brief history lesson:
We began with a single store -- Jeff's Vintage Treasure in 2018 -- with Shopify and sold mostly vintage sports products. Because some customers wanted newer items as well, that same year we added a second web site
-- Jeff's Treasure Chest -- to the mix.
The second store did well, and we became obsessed with other "niche" stores and began to accumulate inventory for them. The desire to add these other options led us to the decision in 2022 to eventually consolidate everything under one roof, which also resulted in the new name. You'll notice some of them on our home page, and that's only about half of what we have planned (unless we come to our senses first).
It will probably take quite a while to list everything we have, so check back often, and we're always open to your suggestions -- really!
As far as store operations go, some key points:
1) Shipping: Right now, it's U.S. only. Unless it's the holidays, or a weather situation (as we recently experienced) we always try to ship within 24 hours, but we officially ask for a 2-day window.
2) Returns: Our policy is we don't accept returns, and here's why: In the six years when running both of our original stores, we had 2 -- count 'em, 2 -- returns: One was for a Oakland A's hat that the manufacturer
tagged "adult" but turned out to be youth, and we also shipped a White Rose replica St. Louis Cardinals T-Bird instead of a nearly identical Indians model... yep, that one was our mistake. The point being that to date there has not been a single complaint over the quality of what we sell. And with people getting what seems to be an "Amazon" mentality when it comes to returns, we really don't want to travel down that road. However, know that if you have an issue with anything we sell, let us know and we'll do our best to make it right. Fair enough? (See our Policy and/or Contact Pages in the footer at the bottom of any
page for more detailed information).
Enjoy your visit!
