Do You Know About Doll Makers' Marks?

This morning I came across this DVD and book set called Doll Makers' Marks that helps new collectors identify the markings of doll makers. This is something that has always interested me. Have you ever come across a doll at a thrift store or tag sale and wondered just how old or where the doll is from? Checking the neck of your own 18 inch dolls, did you know that the Stamps on their necks are often different depending on when they were made.
While this book and DVD may not appeal to some of you I am so thrilled to have found it this morning! To see about ordering your own copy please click here.

Looking To Keep Track? Check This Book Out!

I have a lot of dolls. I don't always remember which ones and where they came from and how long I have had them. Actually my niece asked me "How many dolls do you have Aunty?" and my response was "We don't ask that question when your Uncle is home". But it did get me thinking about keeping better track. All my dolls are loved and played with not on display but I do consider myself a collector and found this fantastic book and look who is on the cover but my very own Samantha, well okay not mine but I think this book needs to come to live at my house for inventory purposes!
