Your dolls are from the Seymour Mann Connoisseur Collection and were made in 1996.
There are several different versions of the 2PC doll sets that seem to have been produced from 1995 to 1996.
I believe these sets are referred to as 'twins'.

These are from the same collection, but unfortunately do not have any information.
www.newegg.com/.../027-026H-00009

This is a similar set made in 1997. Asking price: $20. Problem; this set has been listed for sale for over 3 years and has not sold.
www.ebay.com/.../223458476588?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt...

This is set from 1997. Asking price: $24.95 plus shipping.
has been listed for over 18 months and still not sold.

This set is same series but 1995. Listed for $39.95. Has been listed for over 2 years and has not sold.
www.ebay.com/.../293845628102

This set is identical to your set and is listed in UK for $24.95. You can place a 'watch' on this one to see if it sells. Listed for $24.95
www.ebay.co.uk/.../155290052720?hash=item2428022870...

I did not find any similar doll sets that had sold recently, but I believe you can see from the examples provided, these dolls are valued at less than $35-$40 due to the length of posting with no sales.
Value would seem to be less than $25.

Over the years, Seymour Mann has produced so many dolls that it would be impossible to find every one of these at any given time. If you are an eBay member you can put Joella on a "watch" list and eBay will notify you if someone happens to list this doll. Just go to "advanced" and check out eBay services.

  • Most of these dolls sell for less than $35 and they may take "forever" to even sell at that price.
  • These dolls come in all sizes, all cultures, all ages (baby to granny), all styles of clothing so a buyer can pick & choose and pay very little for dolls that are mass produced.
  • There are over 7,000 Seymour Mann dolls presently listed on eBay and quite a few on Etsy (some with very high asking prices) but we have no way to know how long any have been listed or if they will ever sell.
  • Value does not seem to matter if the dolls are new, in-the-box, preowned, limited edition (almost all have this on the box), etc., because buyers have such a wide selection to choose from.
  • Truthfully, the majority of these pretty dolls sell for under $12 and some sellers even have "free shipping" ( a real joke) but it costs the seller money and many times it can actually "cost" the seller money to sell that doll.
    Advertisement

    This is true on any auction site (eBay, Etsy, Ruby Lane, etc.).
  • Take a look at the Seymour Mann dolls recently sold on eBay and you will see why everyone is saying the value is very low.
  • Many dolls sold for $3-$4 and some even had free shipping which will cost $5-$10 no matter where it is shipped. (This is sad as I feel sure some of these "sellers" had no idea this would happen.)
  • This does not mean there are not exceptions to the "rule".
  • www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=seymour%20mann...
  • If you wish to sell your doll, I would suggest you list her on your local Craigslist as you can place the starting price as whatever you wish and just lower it if no one shows an interest.

The Seymour Mann doll collections are mass produced and don't bring a high resale value. It is unfortunate that this happens, The dolls that hold their value and increase in value are the ones made by famous doll collectors.

Most people can only resell your doll or dolls similar to yours for around $20 to $30. I know this isn't much money considering how much the doll cost when you purchased it.

I did not find this same doll, but there are some similar dolls that may help if you are looking for value to perhaps sell.
Keep in mind that most of these dolls were mass-produced, so this fact usually places them in a low price bracket and since the doll market has been flooded for several years, sales are very slow.

You can see some similar dolls - all beautiful dolls but not many have sold for over $20-$30 and we have no way to know how long each doll has been listed for sale. One particular doll sold for $15.95 but had been listed for sale for over 2 years and this is not unusual.
This doll is very similar to your doll. listed for sale for $15.95.

This doll sold for $15.00:

This doll sold for $15.

Unsurprisingly, I find that one cannot expect to make much more than $20 for this - if it even sells.

I was told this doll was worth $300. My daughter got it as a gift from a distant relative. My daughter is 10 and swears it is haunted. Lol. She said that she heard it say, "wrong box" several times. I told her it's the TV or something cause she sleeps with it on.

I'm a 38 yr old man and I tried looking this up and I cannot find it. I put in the numbers it shows a different doll. There are only 7 thousand and fifty it says on the card so why can't I find it?

Seymour Mann dolls are mass produced and generally sell at stores like Walmart, Target, K-mart and have very little collectible value. They make thousands of each doll which means different types/sizes are available for very low prices and are very slow sellers when listed on the doll auction sites like eBay and Etsy.
You do not give the name of your doll but since they are generally all low priced the name/size would probably not make very much difference. The true value of your doll would probably run between $8 - $25 but may take a long time to sell.

If you are interested in selling your doll then I would suggest listing it on Craigslist where someone can actually see your doll and no shipping involved. Start the price at $45 and adjust if necessary.

There are a lot of these dolls listed on eBay and Etsy so if you do not know the name of your doll, you may be able to locate her on one of these sites. Just remember, all of the prices are asking prices and may never sell even if the asking price is $.99.

Reselling dolls are difficult and especially a doll that is mass produced and sold through many local stores. You can try selling your doll on Craig's list or on eBay. Normally they take a long time to sell. If you have a yard sale or your church is having a Bazaar you might be able to sell it easier.

I would price match it on Etsy and eBay but that's a bit hard when they're just for sale and not actually selling or being bid on. Try to look around on the doll for serial numbers and dates, too.

First, you'll need to see if you can figure out the basics of when and by whom the doll was manufactured. Most dolls will have a manufacturer's stamp on them, and a marking indicating the year they were made.Then go on E-Bay to see how much your doll has been sold for ,actual sales only.

I was gifted these two porcelain dolls from an elderly aunt. They're approx. 6 inches long, 100% porcelain except the hair, and weren't in a box. Sadly she passed before I could get any history. I can't locate anything online and only have the information sealed on their backs. The clothing appears to be crocheted and be the original outfits. The arms and legs are moveable with what feels to be a rubber band or similar item, but limbs themselves aren't bendable. If you can't read the backs in the photo, it states:

On eBay there is a very large selection of these dolls. The dolls sell between 30 to 200 dollars. Keep in mind this is the asking price of the doll and not what they sell for.

Many of these dolls sit on eBay for long periods of time. Nobody is interested in them. Therefore, many people cancel their listing on the site.

Your best option is to wait until the holidays and see if you can sell it then. More people will buy these types of items the closer it gets to the holidays.

An easy online search for "porcelain doll values" will produce many answers. Keep in mind that just because a doll may be fancy, old, inherited, etc., it most probably has little value as most are mass produced in the thousands and very often include a fake certification, the rather misleading term limited edition etc., in their names. A doll's condition is extremely important in considering value-the best doll prices are paid for dolls literally never removed from their boxes. You can find prices for some dolls on EBay and try online for further research. This site is a good place to start:

Seymour Mann dolls are mostly mass produced and because of this, the actual value of their dolls is usually very low. This company also made quite a few "sets" of 2 dolls and usually they were 11" dolls. Most of them were either character dolls or Christmas theme dolls.
It appears that your dolls are of the Christmas theme and sometimes in the months of November and December these dolls will bring more money than at other times of the year. Judging from the actual prices paid for sets on eBay and Etsy, I would value your dolls at $40 to 50 dollars.
Dolls do not usually sell quickly on any site and bring very little money if sold to a store. I would recommend listing on Craigslist if you plan to sell. Just remember that good pictures are what sells an item.

Seymour Mann are usually very beautiful dolls but there were so many produced that true value is very low.
Auction sites are usually the best place to find the really true value of a doll like this as it shows what people are trying to sell and also what dolls actually sold for.

Here is a listing of Seymour Bride Dolls presently listed on eBay and their asking price - some sellers have the same dolls listed for months and months and may never sell them - others may sell faster but not often. You may find a doll like yours or similar:
