Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll - doll with a long coatShe is a stand up wind up doll. She has no markings on her or tags. I just wanted to know if someone has seen her in a collection, or if she is just a lone porcelain doll that someone made.

A doll with no markings is probably not worth much. I have never seen this doll.

You probably already did this, but I have found markings in the scalp under the hair. Markings always help when figuring out value. So does condition.

If there is nothing and you are like me, you can always go to Google, type in a description, click on the Images tab and scroll through the photos to see if you find a match. I learn so much doing that!!

You can even look at old Sears or toy store ads if you have an idea of what year you got her (look for ads in the decades before) or when she was purchased new (look for that year).

If you come up empty on finding her lineage....if you are going to sell her, you could always just put a good description in the eBay headline and start her at whatever amount you would like to get and tell people reasonable offers accepted (this would be Fixed Price, 30 day, Best Offer set up). This allows the market to dictate the value, as "market value" is only what someone is willing to pay.

There are zillions of unbranded dolls sold online every day. Most don't fetch a lot of money (and rarely what the doll was valued at new), but it can be a fun process!

Good luck! If you find her name, post it here so we can all learn together!!!
