This is just a picture of the room where most dolls reside, although I have another doll room too!
These are Terri Lee dolls. On the left is a Terri Lee doll from 1953. She was in pieces when I got her and she has been restrunged. On the right is a reproduction Terri Lee sold in the Target stores in 2006. As you can see they are quite different. Many people never liked the Terri Lee dolls as they felt the features were too harsh. She actually is one of my favorite dolls. Just a few months ago I was able to aquire a first issue Jerri Lee doll as well as a box of rare Terri Lee doll clothes .... Jerri Lee is Terri Lee's brother. The doll is in pieces, but will soon be restrung.
This is a 1937 Shirley Temple doll. She is a composition doll which is wood based. She is cracked and actually is in very poor shape. Although I repair dolls, I do not repair dolls made of composition. To repair her to an acceptable state would cost about $250 to $350. I do have some original Shirley Temple doll dresses but I made this yellow dress she is wearing.
This is a saucey walker doll from the mid-1950's. She still walks and moves her eyes. Dressed in a doll lady creation in this Christmas picture. Sometimes she wears her own original dress.
A very rare redhead Madame Alexander ballerina doll. Unfortunately she has the dreaded doll disease which some hard plastic dolls get from being stored with another doll with the dreaded disease....there is nothing which can be done to cure the disease. I store her in a different room than my other hard plastic dolls.....her previous owner didn't. The doll smells like baby vomit.Otherwise she would be my most valuable doll as she is rare.
Another post with pictures will coming in the near future. Watch for it.
