Diane, Without knowing more I can't identify that CInderella. There were several made by different companies including Madame Alexander. Places to check would be: http://rubylane.com http://tias.com and of course, ebay. Good luck!

My sister had a Cinderella doll back in the late fifties that came with a carriage and glass slippers. I believe the dress was blue. She loved it so, and my cousin ripped it apart. I was hoping to find one on the internet to surprise her.

Richard, we are unable to identify dolls here, however you can take them to a local antiques dealer and they should be able to help. You might also try your local library to see if you can identify them from one of the doll collectors books. Good luck!

Hello Vicki - Your doll sounds like it may be a Tiny Tears. These dolls were popular in the 1950s and 1960s with many variations and sizes manufactured. Try searching Tiny Tears doll 12" on google and Ebay. You will be able to compare your doll to others and find nice examples of original style clothing. Enjoy your doll!

I purchase an American Character 12" doll this weekend. I'm pretty sure she's a Tiny Tears but I'm not that sure. On the back of her neck it reads " American Character Doll". Below that it reads "Pat.No. 2 675 644"

She has auburn curly hair, sleep eyes, a mouth with a hole in it ready to accept her bottle. She has rosy cheeks, auburn eyes with dark lashes.There are holes at the inside corners of her eyes for her tears and one on her left butt cheek for urine. Her hands are turned in, she has a belly button, her legs are jointed where they connect to the torso and arms are jointed at the shoulders. Her body is a soft plastic that can be squeezed. When you do, she makes a noise. Her head is hard plastic. If she is a Tiny Tears, I would like to know the year she was made and any other tid bits of information I should know. Right now I'd like to dress her, but what kind of clothes did she wear? Thanks for anybody's help.

Your best bet is to contact a local antique dealer who can point you in the right direction. Another option is to get a doll price guide. You may find one at your local library or you can purchase one at a book store.

I have two walking annette dolls by Goldberger Doll Co. Still in the box but the plastic is tore. How do I find out what this is worth?

Take another look. Is the maker listed anywhere on the doll? That would definitely help narrow the search.

I bought some dolls at a garage sale this weekend. One of them has rooted red hair, freckles across the nose, blue sleepy eyes, teeth that are painted on. She has on a red dress with lace overlay. She is plastic sort of and has the markings 1968 #800 made in italy...I was told her name was Sasha. She is about 8 to 10 inches tall I'd guess. Then she has a large 800 stamped on her head under the hair. Can anyone tell me anything about this doll and her value?

Your choice really! Most people hold on to antique and collectible items for their appeal as much as their potential value. If you enjoy the doll, then certainly keep her.
