Vtg 1989 Pleasant Company American Girl Doll Trifold Catalog Summer Kirsten

Up for sale is a rare, highly collectible piece of early American Girl doll history! This is an authentic vintage Pleasant Company trifold catalog brochure from Summer 1989, featuring prices effective through July 15, 1989. Unlike the standard thick booklets, this rare, smaller-format promotional trifold features a beautiful cover illustration of a young girl from behind, dressed in Kirsten Larson's iconic blue-and-white ticking stripe school dress while holding a wooden trug filled with red apples.
