Older doll, original clothing, I don't know much about it.
Hi Tina,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few images that show this doll in better light?
Is the doll marked on the back of the head or neck?
Can you please tell me (approximately) how tall it is?
Thanks,
Delia
Hi sorry a out the delay, I am a traveling nurse. I just uploaded more pictures as you requested
Hi Tina,
No worries - thanks for the additional photos. I can't make out the inscription on the back of the head - are you able to tell me what it says?
Thanks and no hurry on your end - at your convenience.

It is just a date on the doll that says 6/30/87. There isn't anything on the head like the other doll. I have like 5 other dolls. Are they worth getting appraisal?
Without seeing them it's hard to tell. So far, the three dolls I've appraised for you have been fairly low-valued. If the others are like these, I might say it might not be worth getting them appraised.
