I'm not into dolls, sharona, but that dark-haired doll on the right is GORGEOUS.

 

@Sharona - the Haskell name is being used again on some Chinese imports. Legally I might add. That pink choker is 30s Czech, most likely.

 

Thank you! I think shes pretty too, but not very old. her hands have lots of stains.Im not a dollie either, those ladies on the doll board are obsessed and funny.... Ill have to ask them about these 2

 

Thanks Bev! I knew it was but you can sure feel the differences

 

Iv had a seen a few pieces of modern Haskell and saw several modern pieces posted on the jewelry board
The quality is not there

 

looks like you got a good haul sharona! That pink necklace looks very nice!

 

Thank you!

 

Sharona, does the doll on the left in the old clothes have any markings on the back of her head? She looks like some of the German bisque head dolls. My first thoughts were perhaps Armand Marseille or Simon & Halbig.

 

I had the piece looked at by an dealer who specializes in military items and his thoughts were; not a repro, not civil war, but Spanish-American War Period.

 

Thanks, Sharona!

Yes, that gold lot was pretty nice. Those and the others were easy to just scrap quick because some were damaged and "vintage" (20, 30, 40 years old). The two pins I didn't have the heart to scrap because they are legitimate antiques.

 

Thank you so much Cheryl for the above info. Much, much appreciated. The link you provided is also a dead-on match for my crown piece. Again, thank you!

 

Nice finds guys! CX, love that box and Sharona, love that pearl chain pendant.

 

The small lot below was $46...

The double apple and peach form pewter bowl at first glance I thought was Chinese. But it's signed by California artist, teacher and jeweler: Charla Ilgner (1906 - 1997).

I didn't dig any deeper, but perhaps someone else can.

 

Yes, please post on the doll board, and let us know
I wonder if she could be an Armand Marseille Eaton Beauty doll.

 

Thanks Messi not sure that says none were marked she is...

 

Those are nice juicy lots, Nuff and cxgirl!
