Hi Debbie,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Farnell dolls, produced by the British company Farnell from the late 19th to mid-20th century, are highly collectible for their quality craftsmanship and charming designs. Known for their expressive faces and fine materials, these dolls include teddy bears, which significantly influenced the creation of the iconic Winnie the Pooh.
In recent years, Farnell felt dolls can bring as much as $200 or $250 at auction, though most of this size routinely sell in the $100-150 range.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
