Does anyone know how I can find out what these dolls are worth? They are all from the late '50's early '60's. They have been kept inside a suitcase from the same era. I would like to know what they are worth so I can sell them. The first one is an Allan, the next is a Barbie, redhead, the clown is unknown, and the last one has a pull cord that works, and she says, "can I be your friend." And other things. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Allen in box Sadly I see right now is not selling. I'm kinda shocked. Clearly when the market is up it's an $80 doll easily.
The second I'm confused about. It's in a Barbie box but looks like a Tressy doll. What is she marked?
The third one is 1961 Sister Belle the talking girl by Mattel and what she is worth depends on if she talks
When ever you look for value on dolls marks are everything
Tressy dolls

The Allan says: 1960 Mattel Inc. Hawthorne, Calif. USA, no other mark or #'s.
The girl doll has no mark, must not be a Barbie. The Sister Belle, does talk, things like "I think you're nice" etc...1961 Mattel Inc. Hawthorne, Calif. USA. The clown is just eiree and is going back in the box. haha It says, Rushton Star Creation, The Rushton Company, Atlanta GA. I think I'll make him my facebook profile pic.
Breaks my heart about the Rushton. I see one that went for $22, but it could go higher. The market is just horrible right now. Sadly, in my opinion Ebay is the best place, but's not great selling out there right now. Mid April they will no longer charge for listing unless you sell your item at least. The Tressy looking doll..if the legs are not like Barbie, and is a thin plastic, she is a Tressy knock off.
Hi! I just recently posted the brother to Belle on my site "Mattie" says things like "Tell me a story!"
I have the same clown, (no 'diaper'- that is obviously not original!) but mine does have a hat.
What ever happened to the "Gay Bob" doll.?Remember him? He was the size of Ken, but I don't recall if Mattel was the maker. 1970s?
Mattel may have a "Tranny Tony" in the works the way things are going nowdays.
