If you like, I can support you in searching for the origin of your old doll and estimating its market price. (This will cost a small fee; see below). My offer is meant for old Kathe Kruse dolls as well as old German porcelain dolls and certain German celluloid dolls. I have acquired my knowledge of dolls by working with my mother in her dolls shop where many customers came and asked her help in identifying and restoring their old dolls. If you do know little about dolls, you will certainly make a profit from my help. If you are an experienced collector of dolls and have a very special question, just let me know about your problem; maybe I can be of help for you.

• a photograph (or several photographs)
• the size of the doll
• the (presumed) year of production or year of purchase
• maybe the doll's name (if the doll comes with the original box, for example)
• maybe the precise mark in the neck with letters, numbers and/or symbols (not relevant for Kathe Kruse dolls!)
• hints concerning the clothing (original or not?) and
• information about possible damages.

Having received your e-mail, I will send you a confirmation mail and inform you about the costs of the doll appraisal. You can decide then whether to place an order or not. Payment can be made either by Paypal or by a payment to my bank account.

The service is free of charge for a Puppenliste customer under certain circumstances. Others pay the following fees:

• 40,00 EUR for a simple price estimate or
• 70,00 EUR for a detailed appraisal.
