Sunday Dolls replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"The clothes are incredible. I would have to agree with Cybermogul Dolls: Avoid washing them as the oxidation (darkened) spots can disintegrate, even with gentle handling. I would offer the doll and her wardrobe together. Someone may purchase it for…"
Rich Brown replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Happily, 'Miss Haversham' has now found a loving home with a collector in Cambridgeshire here in the UK. Her wardrobe however is still for sale if anyone's interested? (including the clothes she is pictured in on this thread)"
valerie cifaldi replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"i have sold similar wax composition dolls in about this condition. i sold one at a flea market for about $50 and i used fee-bay, i must admit. pricing depends on how long you want to keep this as inventory. i started at a $24 opening and…"
Cybermogul Dolls left a comment for Rich Brown"Hi Rich - I am trying to message you about the doll but we have to be Friends first on Vintage Village. I sent you a friend request. Do you have a Ruby Lane shop? Marie"
Rich Brown replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls" She could, but I'm not the one with time or spare capital to have her repaired so I think I'll sell her and her clothes (nice word, Trousseau!) once I've figured out what she's worth!

Graceful Antiques replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Fabulous. She comes with a whole trousseau. This dolly was well loved by someone. The hair can be fixed with a wig.
What a beauty she could be. "
Rich Brown replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Here are some more pictures of the way the legs are attached, or at least the lower legs anyway, the arm(s) and head/shoulders are attached the same way. Also a huge load of pics of the clothes that came with it. The head does have a slot in…"
Cybermogul Dolls replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Yes, she is antique and wax. Or reinforced wax. I think I see a slit in her head to insert her hair. Also the way the legs are attached - can you post more pictures of that? She can be gently restored. Likely her…"
Graceful Antiques replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Yeah, I was correct.
Does the dress look period? I would love to see the other ones.

debdoll replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Hi Rich, your doll is a wax over papier mache, late 1800's I believe. There are people that restore these so she is still worth something to someone. Personally, as much as I hate to separate dolls from their original…"
Graceful Antiques replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Possibly wax over paper mache. If you look into her eye that is missing is this what it looks like? Paper mache?

Rich Brown replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"I've just taken another picture of her head, apart from the missing arm that's where the most damage is. Thanks for the information so far, I had a feeling she was interesting but assumed she was too damaged, show's what I know...I…"
Graceful Antiques replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"value possibly. I flat cannot see her good enough.
go to Ruby Lane and put in wax doll and see till someone that knows these older dolls comes along. Sorry. "
Rich Brown replied to Rich Brown's discussion Who is she? in the group Antique & Vintage Dolls"Eeek, 'don't touch her'? Is that a safety warning or a value warning... :-)
