African American Dolls Appraisal

What are antique dolls worth? Professional appraisers can identify and evaluate collectible, antique, African American Dolls .  Many antique dolls are marked with a mold number , and the mold number may be enough to identify the maker of the doll. Debra - the doll appraiser tells us how to have Christmas every day :)

Ten years ago on my birthday, a New Jersey resident brought in a doll which had been in her family.  It was wrapped in a black garbage bag without the added protection of bubble wrap or tissue paper.  I was thrilled to discover that her family doll was a Bebe Modele by Bru, circa 1879-80, on its original articulated woden body and featuring the desirable Circle Dot head model.
