Just bought this doll. This is sellers photo from Facebook marketplace. $50 which is actually more than I usually spend on a Shirley that needs some tlc but the seller had videos of her being pulled out of an old trunk and I couldn't resist her!
I'll follow up after she's restrung and cleaned up.
Hey guys! Not exactly a doll but a marionette I found on Goodwill website. I did some research. Made in Czech Republic. Definitely vintage.
Check out photo 2! The face painting is amazing.
Not something I've ever collected. I've been to a marionette exhibit at UCONN and since then was fascinated by the history of puppetry.
Not sure how I will display her.
She was only $9.99
German Simon and Halbig 1079 DEP dressed like a French girlie.
I especially love her hat.
She is a recent auction win
Hi everyone I'm the Mod at r/antiquedollcollecting my name is Vivian
I collect antique dolls.
I hope some of you young collectors can help me.
Who is this doll? I bought her and know nothing about her.
I love anime. I thought she was so cute.
Thanks in advance.
She's coming in the mail so I'm not sure her markings.
My daughter recently bought a house and the previous owner is a 95 year old woman. She left almost everything behind to go to assisted living.
This cutie I found in a box in the garage.
She's vintage from about 1940s.
I named her after the owner,
Dolores Jean.
I love finding dolls

Thanks for being here. I found this cute photo on Pinterest
I bought her off Facebook marketplace for $74.
But here's the story:
Seller mailed to wrong address.
Seller wanted me to go online and fix after it was shipped which costs money $27.
I jumped the gun and filed PayPal claim
today I get message that box was being returned to sender for incorrect address.
I tried to file claim through Facebook marketplace (a nightmare)
I called a phone# (which was a scam) that tried to make me put money into my cash app. $450 they claimed the Seller had filed a claim against me and was trying to charge my card. I didn't have my debit on my cash app and they told me to add it. Meantime I Message Seller who I was in constant contact with, I ask her if she did this, (which I didn't think so) she said NO
I refused to put money in my cash app. I hung up, froze my debit card and changed all my passwords and deleted my cash app altogether.
->The seller also got message she was getting back box.
Here's the crazy part:
BOX TURNS UP ON MY DOORSTEP!!!
Seller and I are both freaked out by now.
I canceled claim with PayPal.
And this doll went all the way from California to Connecticut with NO bubble wrap!!!!
Just wrapped poorly in tissue and packing paper
ok I'm breathing again lol.
maybe the doll God's are trying to tell me something:
buyer Beware 😂
this little Japanese nodder I bought yesterday. she's on the way to me
this is my handmade Heubach from about 1915
I bought this pretty antique china head on Facebook marketplace. I can't wait to get her! Have a great week.
