Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It is a beautiful doll. Such vintage artist dolls are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
The doll made by artist Laura Cobabe is in excellent condition based on the photos and your description. The model name is Pauline and the doll is marked 242/1000 which means that the doll was a limited edition doll.
The value of dolls is determined by the artist that made them and how many dolls were made from each lot. And it was quite common to produce dolls in lots of 1000 to 2000 dolls.
The market value for such dolls has declined in the past few years and artists dolls rarely have value beyond their purchase price even when kept in excellent shape.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online toys auction, where I believe the doll has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the Laura Cobabe. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
