RUTH CRONK & THE BARBIE MYSTIQUE by Bradley Justice
Dear Antique Doll Collector, I thought I would reach out and ask this wonderful community if there is anyone you know that would love and cherish a black memorabilia collection, from dolls to figurines to paper and books? My mom passed away two years ago. She cherished this awesome collection. Not sure where to turn to sell the collection. I know it could be cherished by someone else. Thank you for any help you might be able to offer. I did get an appraisal on most of the collection. I have found other items that I have put aside. Well thank you so much for any help and guidance. Judy Pardee Dear Judy, We are glad you were able to get an appraisal first on this collection. To learn more about your dolls, or if there are holes that you need to fill, there are several places to review online: Rubylane - www.rubylane.com There are many sellers on this site and you can see what might be the best pricing for your dolls. Or try Ebay. If there are dolls to be identified, we suggest you review doll groups on Facebook. There are some that welcome posts of dolls and work at identifying them for the owners. 1. Antique Doll Collector magazine has a page on Facebook (facebook.com/ AntiqueDollCollectorMagazine/) 2. Friends of the UFDC Doll Museum group page (facebook.com/ groups/162645217836231/). We suggest starting with these two groups (you will need to join) and identification should lead you to more specific groups, based on the type of doll. There are many groups focused on one doll style to choose from. Good luck with your search! Antique Doll Collector
