Expensive music-playing doll?


I'm a writer and I need a very expensive, music-playing doll for a story I'm working on. China/porcelain head, any song, pretty, something a little girl would like, antique, and very valuable. But, at the same time, something an 80 year-old woman could pull out of her attic without realizing it was worth anything (what she might have been given as a child, or could have belonged to her mother). Please, any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Clockwork dolls are indeed rare and expensive.

Good luck on your story.

I am trying to find information on porcelain dolls?


i want to sell a porcelain doll its very old and I dont know where to start need to see sites of antique dolls and their worth but the doll has three faces on one head what website can i get info from

There was a doll made about twenty years ago that was a reproduction of an antique three headed doll. I have one myself, its worth about thirty five dollars last I looked.
Its such a big hobby, but it can be hard to find info on exactly what you have
First you check ebay, then I have two links at the bottom here. Exploring those may help.

    The place is called http://www.replacements.com in Greensboro, North Carolina. Phone number is 1-800-737-5223. You can email them, give them the name but I would also send a picture and the size of the plate (like 10"). They have the world's largest inventory of china, crystal and silver. Good luck.

    Oh my gosh, I so get the ventriloquist dummy fear. Those things are beyond creepy!! I have a similar fear of dolls. Not the Barbie type, the old antique porcelain dolls – ugh! I wouldn't be able to sleep if one of those things was within three rooms of me. …and then, of course, there are clowns. We won't even go there 'cause I'd like to be able to sleep tonight. Did you ever read Stephen King's It?

    I was always too chicken to shoplift. Too much hell to pay when I got home if I had been caught. I did perfect the art of the fib when I was a child, though. I had a very vivid imagination. :)

    I love that you like Gladys Knight. That is just so cool to me.

    Makes sense – it is certainly antique porcelain. I wonder if the clever fellows who re-purposed it forgot that one must keep water in the trap of unused plumbing? If there was an *ahem* disruption in the force, it would indeed have been a prime candidate for sewer gas incursion. ;)
