Doll Auction

After getting ready for a 9:00 a.m showing and taking my son to the library, I decided that I needed to block out the real world for a little while.  I hadn't planned on even going to the doll auction that had started the day before.  But I ended up there anyway.  When I registered the clerk told me someone just bought a doll for $25,000.  Not kidding you.  The first part was the online auction.  You barely stand a chance at getting anything when there is someone bidding online.  I still can't get over how much the accessories go for.  If the doll has an original dress on, it will go for big bucks.  After the online auction ends they have a gallery sale.  You can bid on the dolls the same as the online but it's gallery bidding only.  Near the end you get some really good bargains.  So, I came home with some bargains but as you know I am downsizing.  So, I am going to pass them on to you first and then try to sell them elsewhere.  So here goes.  Prices do not include shipping.  We can figure that out later.  These are real deals for sure.  I am including descriptions that were given to me.  Some don't have markings or I can undress them and see.  I can't verify if their outfits are original.  Most probably aren't.

 #1    My favorite.  Not sure what she is.  She is composition.  She is heavy.  She has rubber arms and is in good condition.  On the back of her head there is some crazing and maybe some repair, but you really can't tell it.  The head as well as the body is in good condition.  I took her clothes off to wash them.  Not sure if I will put them back on.  Her body besides the arms and legs is cloth.  I am only asking $15 for her because the shipping will be more.  This doll has amazing eyes.

 

#2  and #3

 

These are hard plastic walker dolls including Saucy Walker.  Not sure which one.  Both have good eyes.  I haven't washed their clothes yet.  They are probably 12" dolls.  Somewhat the same size as an American Girl doll.  These dolls are $10.00 each plus shipping.  They are in good condition.

 

 

 

#4 is $10

She is also in good condition.  Such a pretty dress and shoes.  Composition.

 

#5

17" vinyl ballerina in gold and pink tulle outfit.  Not sure about age.  She has very long legs and they are flexible.  Good condition.  $10

 

#6 #7 and #8

 

The bride doll is composition, good condition, probably original dress.  $15  Adopted

Girl in blue with hat also good condition, probably original dress. $10 Hard plastic or vinyl for her and the next one.

The doll in the middle has a beautiful pink dress with a furry boa.  $10

 

#9 and #10

 

The doll in the gingham dress is in really really cute.  Almost new condition.  $10

The one on the left is again good condition.  It has a gorgeous dress on.  This doll is composition.  Not sure if the dress is original because of the really good condition but it sure looks like it is .  (This may be  an Ideal Princess Beatrix)  I have that on my receipt but not sure which doll it is)  $15

 

#11

 

 This is a German cellouid doll.  She looks better than this picture.  A couple of marks.  I think the darker ones are just a little bit of dirt.  She is light and her face feels fuzzy but not her arms.  $5

 

#12

 

 

The pretty doll in the middle is 11" hard plastic Madame Alexander "Little Genius".  She has painted hair and there are a couple of places that are a little worn, just a little.  Her dress is beautiful.  No marks on her face and her eyes work well.  Her body is cloth.  I may keep her.  I paid more for her than the others.  $30  (You can see the German doll better in this picture)

 

Sorry, I am keeping Shirley Temple.  I am looking for a better outfit for her.  She is from 1958 .  I am going to give her to my mother.  My mother had a Shirley Temple doll, probably composition since she is 88.  My older brother destroyed her.  He did that with one of my favorite dolls too.

 

#13

Betty Boop dressed as a groom.  Her hat is old and falling apart.  She seems to be from the same time as my parents cake topper and that is 66 years old.  The hat looks just like this one.  She is porcelain .Maybe 6 inches.  $10 

#14

 

Last but not least.  If I don't sell him quickly he is staying.  He is a 13"English Teddy Bear Circa 1930's with COA.  Poor guy is loved but it great condition.  He is jointed and no bare spots.  He only has one green eye. The certificate says the value is $100.  $20

 

Yes, I did come home with all of these.  Geez, what was I thinking.  But I got them for such an unbelievable price and I am passing that on to you.  As far as shipping.  I am guessing $6 for the small ones, $12 for the medium ones.  The bigger ones no more than $20.

Just type in the number and say sold and I will get back to you.  I can take Pay Pal.

 

Thanks.
