Porcelain dolls...?

Jun 20, 2008 by Daedal | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

I have a rather rare porcelain doll in my possession. It's from Seymour Mann's Connoisseur Doll Anthology. It's not in a case, but is in pretty excellent acclimatize. It's on it's original stand and has it's original tags. The tag says "This printing is limited to 7500 dolls. After this edition is sold out, the only way to procure a doll from this edition will be from a collector complaisant to sell at a price the market dictates." I'm not certain how old the doll is exactly, perhaps 20 years.
Where can I clerk this doll? How do I figure out how much this doll is indeed worth?

I don't about you'll have any luck selling it without the box. They don't do too well on Ebay. There's a whole foot-boy of ended auction with only one sale - 3 dolls for $25.00.

Concord business owner blends passion for dolls into business

01.01.70

Turning passion into profit, isn’t always an compliant endeavor.

As Chris Carpenter collected 500 dolls over the since eight years, it quickly became a passion.

Opening a bank to sell collectable dolls and gifts to the public is a flight of fancy that has grown with every new doll she purchased.

“Just something I’ve always wanted to do,” she said. “I’m a big accumulator, an avid collector of dolls. It’s been a dream.”

She is impotent to explain why she started to collect dolls in the first place.

“Decently, I don’t know. I just can’t impart you,” she said.

Her very first doll was a Virginia Turner doll, which she carries in the trust in. Turner is a doll maker who started creating porcelain dolls more than 30 years ago in her basement in Indiana.

“We were walking around in a collect one day and I had seen them, and it was something I wanted to do,” she explained.

Annual SAMA-Altoona doll exhibit helps kick off holiday season

01.01.70

Though children hardly ever enjoy looking at toys without being able to act with them, the annual holiday exhibit at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona will instil them differently.

"Antique Dolls: A Holiday Celebration," which will be left on display through Jan. 7, features a collection of 50 European porcelain dolls from the prehistoric 1800s and 1900s.

Barbara Hollander, SAMA-Altoona coordinator, said this year's doll flourish is a really special collection because of their porcelain faces and fine features.

"I'd say, this year, they're pretty rare," Hollander said. "I just now think it's an extraordinary collection."

The "Antique Dolls" present has been a long-standing tradition at the museum. Hollander said a clandestinely benefactor donates the dolls each year, and curates the show to mollycoddle to a specific theme. And every year, the exhibit is much anticipated.

Hollander said it's already worn out a crowd, though the exhibit just opened on Nov. 18.
