[QUOTE="judy, post: 3285137, member: 965"]I have no idea of their desirability at the moment, but a few years back, they brought decent money. Many different styles were made, some holding a cigarette...............I can't recall any one company producing them, but I do remember having a nice one that was made in France, that I sold quite a long time ago. I forget the price, but perhaps around $200 or so. I'm trying to remember what other criteria was important to collectors......the shoes I think. How the hair was styled. Hair rolled in flat rounds around the ears were desired. Hopefully [USER=164]@Christmasjoy[/USER] and [USER=6320]@sassafras[/USER] can tell you more. Also many of them suffered severe crazing which brought down the value of the doll, but if the clothes were decent, they still sold. Up to the 1950's for popularity, but I think the 30's/40's is more their era. They were never expensive, but some were made better and probably cost a bit more.[/QUOTE]
