All about Dolls and Doll collecting        

 

          

 

          This is a site about dolls and doll collecting.

 

Do you remember your favorite childhood doll? Did you have a rag doll, or a favorite baby doll?

 

Better yet, do you still have that doll? If you do, it may be highly collectible.

 

I have a rather extensive collection of dolls collected over the years. All the pictures on this site are pictures of my  own dolls from my doll collection, unless otherwise stated.

 

 I also have aquired a multitude of knowledge on the subject, and would like to share some of it with other doll collectors. I am not affiliated with any Doll companies, and do not claim to be. Doll collecting is my hobby and any info you read here will just be what I have learned. It must be taken as my opinion on the subject.

 

There were rubber dolls, paper dolls, baby dolls,cloth dolls,china dolls and on and on. There were play dolls and collectors dolls. Some of the play dolls are now collectors dolls. Hopefully this site will help put into perspective the hobby of doll collecting.

                          Here are just a few of my dolls from my vast collection. There are many pictures of my dolls throughout my site. There are also Doll Photo Gallery pages where you can click on any image to see large views.

                      There are over 150 doll pictures on this site so far!

     

 

 

To the left are two American Character Tiny Tears dolls.They are from the 1950's, and are highly collectible today. They were made in different sizes. The smaller one is 12 inches and the other is 15 inches. These dolls can cry real tears!

                          Above is a group of dolls made by Uneeda doll Co. in the 1970's. These dolls are unique in that they are multi-jointed, and thus manequin like. They are 10 inches.

 

 

            Above is a fashion doll that was made in the late   1950s to early 1960s, she is unmarked. She is 16 inches tall  and resembles the early barbie doll.She is unmarked.

 

 

                   Above is an example of a bisque shoulderplate     dollThis one has a cloth body with bisque hands and  feet. Some had leather bodies. This doll has no maker marks.

              

              

 

 

                      The doll above is a Little Ms Coty doll, approx. 10 inches. Dolls in this category include Little Miss Revlon, and Vogue Jill, just to name a few. From the 50s to 60s these fashion dolls came in high heels and wearing makeup . 

 

 

                      Below are is an antique bisque doll reproduction made in the 60's. As you can see the wigs come off, they are not attached.

 

 

Many things factor into the value of dolls.

How old is the doll?

How many were produced?

How sought after is the doll by other doll collectors?

I have pictures of a lot of my dolls through out my site, as well as Doll photo gallery pages. Most of the images can be clicked on for a larger view of the dolls.

This site is a work in progress so do come back often as it will be updated a lot. Thanks!
