Click here for more about this sweet thing.Mom and I learned from doll expert Dee Domroe of the Doll Room in Bridgewater, Connecticut, that this doll is worth about $900. She is a Heubach cast from a Dolly Dimples mold, though she is not a Dolly Dimples doll per se. She was my grandmother's, and she has spent the past 11 years or so in a drawer with a bag over her beautiful head. I marvel that she has gone a century in a little girl's arms, in attics, and who knows where else yet survived.

My WW post
Excellent, Sandy. I think my sister had a doll with the same color eyes. It's amazing how just looking at that doll face evokes memories for me.
ReplyDeleteFunny, it's interesting how many people are put off by dolls! I'm afraid I am one of them. They don't frighten me but there's just something about them. This is a great photo, though...

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful face! Antique dolls have such a special quality to them. Don't see that anymore.
ReplyDeleteEerie, I'd say. But beautiful nonetheless.

I have watched too many horror movies in my day so dolls like that are super scary to me.
ReplyDeleteThose eyes look too real.
I am not a doll fan, but this little lady really has beautiful eyes!

She is beautiful. If she could only speak the stories she would tell.
ReplyDeleteThe detail on antique dolls (and other older toys, furniture, etc.) is amazing. Thanks for giving us a closeup of this one! :)
ReplyDeleteThe poem was awesome and so is the picture. Those are the most beautiful doll eyes I have ever seen.
