Two Black Colonial dolls in perfect condition. They are in full dress with hats and parasols.
I purchased from a Yard sale.
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It is a lovely pair of dolls. Such dolls are being offered at auction on a regular basis. The dolls are what you would call souvenir dolls or dolls made by a proffessional doll maker that makes dolls in the old antique style. The dolls heads are made of porcelain and the wigs are nylon, the clothes in the oldfashioned style are made new too. These dolls were very porpular around the 1980s-2000s and were mass produced unfortunately they have not increased in value compared to their original retail value. It is a lovely pair of dolls but without a considerable secondhand sales value.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online toys auction, where I believe the dolls has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. The estimate is for both the dolls. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the dolls. 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
