Contact Information

If you contact us with questions about a doll you want help selling, need repairing or want an appraisal for it is usually best to Email us. While we can answer a few questions off the top of our head, on the phone, we usually need to consult research material to give an complete answer (You should see the size of our library).  In the E-mail pictures are always helpful.  Include any marks you can see.  The marks are typically on the back of the head (sometimes under the wig) or on the back of the shoulders.  On some there may also be a stamp on the body.  The height of the doll is also very important.  Many dolls were made in a variety of sizes and the size can influence the value of the doll.  With all this information in an E-mail we can quickly do the needed research and get back to you with the information you need.

Above is an all compo "Marama" doll made by Ideal.  This is also called the Hawaiian Shirley Temple because the Shirley Temple body and head molds were used to make her. She was made as a tie in to the 1930's John Ford movie "Hurricane".  She is all original and is the rare 18 inch size. All I had to do for this project was to reset the original yarn hair and restore the headpiece  Note:  Some reference books do not list this size or refer to an additional size that is not known. I can state for a fact that the unknown size is 18 inches.
