I am a vintage toy cars collector, and when i bought some vintage toys from an old stock from a closed shop of over 35 years!. while I was clearing the lot i found this rare dealer/trade brown box filled with these hard plastic dolls. I have no info about them but they are from the 50's, and they come from West Germany. any info will be great.
hi, i just want to know any more info about these lovely dolls I found in a closed old toy shop. they come from west Germany .
thank you
Hi your plastic or celluloid dolls would have been made in West Germany if that is what they are marked and shipped like this to USA, and a few other countries where they would be painted by company that bought them. Often dressed in Ethnic clothes . They were inexpensive dolls and could be dressed by a Mom some were sold nude . A photo of their marking would help . They are a novelty doll or dollhouse type doll . They are not valued high in doll collecting world but would be unique if they are in original box and it is marked so verify it is original box , does it say anything on it ?
thank you so much for the input, the trade box is just a plain box with stamping on it or the dolls, it came with other US zone west germany toys I got and the old store owner (now deceased at the age of 92) told me then that these also from west Germany. :)
thank you , I like the idea that they come in a dealer/trade box :), I am testing them on the auction site and want to see how collectors respond. I found another box of the same dolls in my lot!!!
