To Letha at Worthpoint. I have a Russian Doll that was given to my mother when she was about 4 years old from her uncle who spent time in Siberia, Russia. It was appraised 10 years ago for $250. The dolls description is:
13″ Russian, 1930′s, Cloth Doll, Authentic clothes, Stockinette face, hands, molded face, human hair. Very good condition.

Wanted to know if someone might be interested in buying her since I have 2 boys. I would like to sell it to someone who would enjoy her. I feel she has been in a box for too long and she needs a good home. Can you help me figure out how to do this? Thank you! Amy

I have enjoyed collecting dolls since I was a girl of 12 or 13. The hobby has given me immense enjoyment ever since! I have a 13″ bisque, Asian baby doll. The mold number is AM 353 3 1/2 K. Can anyone give me any info on this doll? I can’t seem to find anything about it. Thanks!

I purchased a box of dolls at a auction. It had two dolls in it that have the markings of kammer and reinhardt #114.
They are 12″ in length both boy and girl. Cloths are in good shape some stains on the dress. Would like to get a idea of a value on them and a date if possible. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I’m need some help on getting a value on a Bisque Head doll that was given to my grandmother. Originally it was her sister who died as a baby circa 1901. The back of the doll says Germany in cursive and the word MABEL 1210 below this. Everything is originaal on the doll. Hands are materail Hair is redish color. Dress is a tan to gold color with stripes running both directions that are bolder than background with the vertical stripes much bolder than the horizontial. Sash in the middle same material as the dress. Eyes are brown. Nothing cracked or broken or torn. Black stockings for feet area. Cream colored petticoat It appears that part of the back part of the head is stuffed in one area with material with the hair attaced to this. It’s made this way. Head and shoulders are connected to a certain point midway to chest and likewise at the back. She has a smile on her face and you can see open slightly and she has teech showing and red lips. eyebrow and eyelashed all appear paited on jist live red lips. Very good to Excellent shape.

I bought a doll at goodwill, and it is old. It has K & R with a star in the middle of the K and R. It has rope holding doll together, glass brown eyes short page boy cut hair,girl’s clothes. It looks like bisque for body and head. Hair is real hair. I also see two numbers one is 101 and then 49 under that. I am at a loss of who to contact to see if my doll is really a Kammer and

Hi,

The Armand Marseille company made many dolls during their long history from 1885 until around 1930. What are the exact markings on the back of the head? His dolls are generally very well marked with markings such as:
Armand Marseille / Germany / 370 / A 5 M they can also be found many times with a marking of A M / Germany / 370 / A 5 M instead of the full name Armand Marseille at the beginning. With these markings the 370 refers to the mold number and the A 5 M to the maker Armand Marseille and the 5 is the doll size. The AM 3 DEP marking you mention means the doll is a size 3 of the particular mold and DEP simply means “registered”. Beginning in March of 1891 all items imported into America had to be clearly marked as to their country of origin in English.

I am not aware of a Mary Lincoln doll that was made by this company. Are there any additional markings on your doll that might give me a clue as to what mold she is?

MY GRANDMA GAVE A DOLL TO ME YEARS AGO WHICH IS NOW GOING TO MY 1ST BORN GRANDDAUGHTER HOWEVER I ONLY KNOW WHAT MY GRANDMA TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I’M MORE CONFUSED THAN EVER. GRANDMA SAYS IT WAS HER GRANDMOTHER’S AND IT’S A (ARMAND MARSEILLE MARKED AM 3 DEP)MARY LINCOLN DOLL. SHE HAS A RED/WHITE CHECKERED DRESS WITH PETTICOAT AND PANTALOONS BLACK AND WHITE KNIT SOCKS AND BUTTON LEATHER BOOTS. I’VE LOOKED AT WEBSITES (ESPECIALLY ARMAND MARSEILLE) BUT CANNOT FIND THIS 24″ MARY LINCOLN DOLL. MAYBE THERE ISN’T SUCH A DOLL WHICH IS FINE BUT I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I’M GIVING HER HOW DO I GO ABOUT THAT/

I bought a beautiful doll for my grand daugher which was damaged in the mail. The seller did not insure it.

The big toe and a small portion of the right foot was broken. I have most of the pieces but need to find a really good restoring company to fix her as good as new. How does that affect the value if it has been professionally restored?
