I am trying to find information and the value of this doll.

All Ashley Belle dolls are mass-produced and are worth $25 or less.
Valuing dolls is a challenge because they are only worth what someone will pay for them at the moment. The Ashley Belle dolls are all over the place in value from .99 cents to under 100 dollars.
I don't see this pretty gal on eBay at the moment (either in sold or active auctions) so you may need to do a little watch and wait and consider my recommendation when people are trying to value their dolls.
What I recommend is to go to eBay and find the EXACT doll and look for SOLD price....NOT asking price.
The challenge is ASKING price only tells you what someone thinks they are worth (I can list something and ask for a million dollars, but if no one will pay that the item is essentially valueless).
You need to look at SOLD prices--which is what someone actually pays.
The other challenge with this method, is when a seller accepts best offer (like on eBay) all this tells the researcher is the person paid as little as 1 cent up through 1 cent under asking price--most sellers are not willing to disclosure what the buyer actually paid and all eBay tells you is best offer was accepted.
In that case, I usually start an item at 10% less than the ASKED price and tell people I consider reasonable offers.
My reasoning behind using EXACT match only to set value, is there are always something similar and I have sold valuables where my item is very valuable and a "similar" one has no value because the first one had some special mark or feature that the similar one did not.
If she is numbered, you can match exact to the series, knowing the first and last usually command slightly higher than those in the middle.
I hope this helps get you started on valuing your lovely!
Do a search on "Google" put in all the information you have on the doll. Also look on eBay to see if there is a doll being sold similar to yours. Also try Craigslist or even the library to see if there is a book on "Dolls".
It is very difficult to find a doll without more information as to identify. You can check sites but it will just be looking for your doll and that may take a very long search as there are literately hundreds of dolls listed like this almost every day on some auction site.
