"Hi Sandy. Unless it is a particularly pristine example, you may want to repair it yourself. I would recommend an epoxy like Milliput, not a glue, because the epoxy can be used to fill the seam opening and the excess wiped away immediately. I would…"

Sunday Dolls replied to G's discussion NEW HERE NAD NEED HELP WITH MY DOLL!! in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Hi. Kestner used plaster pates but a few other companies did as well (and she doesn't appear to be a Kestner). The other characteristics are common to many, many dolls. (And I do believe that if you were to look inside her head, you would see…"
"Hi, some people might be interested in my Vintage Doll Collector site. I have a lot of information there about 20th century dolls. I started it several years ago and at first it was called Fashionable Ladies, and devoted to the glamour dolls of…"
Sunday Dolls replied to G's discussion NEW HERE NAD NEED HELP WITH MY DOLL!! in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Hi again. Well, I must say I'm surprised! Perhaps another member has an idea (?).
Can you remove the wig (and pate if there is one) to post a picture of the inside of the head?"
Sunday Dolls replied to G's discussion NEW HERE NAD NEED HELP WITH MY DOLL!! in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Hi. Either the marks are at the lower edge of the shoulder-plate (likely) or they are very faint from an over-used mold. Please tell us if you find anything.

Sunday Dolls replied to G's discussion NEW HERE NAD NEED HELP WITH MY DOLL!! in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Hi. Welcome to the group! Your pretty doll is German, early 1900s and resembles a Cuno Otto Dressel or, possibly, Heubach or similar maker. I feel very sure that she has manufacturer marks incised on the back shoulder-plate under the kid…"

Dewees Cochran 20-21" Historical Dolls
Hi everyone. I'm trying to find information on the original 20-21" Historical dolls designed by Dewees Cochran for Effanbee.

Does anyone know of any museum (or private) collections that contain one or more of these dolls; or any books/ articles that are relevant to…See More

Sunday Dolls replied to Sunday Dolls's discussion Restoration and Repair in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"These are wonderful. Have you seen a magazine called Art Doll? I don't know if it is available online. It features doll artists who work with "found" objects like you do, as well as others who create and costume the entire doll.

Would love to hear your thoughts about the last couple of posts to this discussion concerning doll restoration."
"Hi Debra and Everyone else ,
I am very happy to be back home, back to work, to my hubs, to my animals, my dolls and my favorite groups too.
I had to go to Brazil and take care of my father which is now doing much better,…"
Sunday Dolls replied to Sunday Dolls's discussion Why We Collect What We Collect: Your Favorite Dolls in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Hi. Such a great question. There is so much debate about this in the doll community but, the short answer is, the more original the doll (including clothing and wig), the more it is worth on the secondary market. Of course, most antique dolls do not…"
