The following information MUST be included:

All information known
about the doll
Any special features
not demonstrated in photograph (i.e. crier box, material used-composition, vinyl,
hard plastic, etc.)
Time frame you believe
doll was produced (if known)-an estimation is acceptable i.e. 1920's, 1930's,
etc.
Please allow adequate time for doll identification.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not determine doll values because values vary due to the condition of the doll, its scarcity in the marketplace and its "desirability." We cannot give you an accurate estimate of worth-please check the Blue Book of Doll Values (and you can also try eBay to discover what other collectors are willing to pay at a particular time ).
