The Appeal of Collectible Dolls When
we started this web site, neither Sandy nor I had any experience
with doll collecting and for that matter not much experience
as collectors. I am not a doll collector myself. I'm not really
a collector at all. I do however, understand the appeal of collecting
and have in my younger years been involved in the hobby of collecting.
I can add that Sandy does have a rather extensive collection
of what are known as "storybook dolls." That is the
extent of collecting at the Dooley household. These dolls are
from many places around the world and are displayed prominently
in our home. More on
this subject and a discussion of Collectible Doll Value on our
Dolls Page
The Art of The Camera
Digital Photography lessons, tips and answers to your
camera and photography questions. You might question
what photography has to do with collectibles on consignment.
Perhaps not much, directly. But, why not? People collect
dolls and other collectibles because they enjoy them
as objects of beauty.
Do you notice something present throughout this site?
Yes, pictures. Pictures of dolls and pictures of other
collectible items. Someone used a camera to make those
pictures.
Two things have motivated this addition to the site.
I enjoy sharing my passion and interest in the art
of photography and secondly, answering the many questions
I receive regarding the "how to's" of photography.
We're not changing or reducing our focus on collectibles
and consignment service. We're simply growing.
Look at our lessons and tips on digital photography.
The material is presented in a common sense format
based on questions and answers. Real world answers
which are on target to your questions.
If you love or simply have an interest in photography,
or if you want to dive into this fascinating art form
as a method of unleashing your own creativity, this
section of Dooley's Treasure Chest is for you.

Cameras - Photography This
is a new offering from us. Though cameras and photography
may seem to have little in common with collectible dolls,
remember, every doll listed on this site is represented by
a picture. You, our sellers, shot many of those pictures.
Besides, it is a visual art. Collectibles are desired because
of their visual appeal. Same thing with memories and captured
visual treasures taken on family vacations, family holidays
and special occassions, and if you're like me, the beauty
of nature when we cross paths with that special scene and
can have a camera ready to capture it. Visit our Cameras
Page
where you will find a wide assortment of feature packed, stylish,
compact and affordable cameras.

One of the largest collections of beautiful collectible dolls
for sale. All are retired and no longer being made and many are
available only available here through Dooley's Treasure Chest.
When doll makers retire dolls and sell the last of their inventory,
the entire number of those dolls will be in the hands of private
individuals and collectors. Collectible dolls make great gifts
and their intrinsic beauty will enhance any decor.
Where do these great collectible dolls, figurines and other
collectibles listed here come from? Mostly from real people
just like yourself. People have either become collectors themselves,
or who have inherited, or otherwise obtained individual or collections
of collectible dolls, figurines, or other personal treasures.
Artists and crafters who create beautiful works and want to share
them with you. We sell collections as well as creations and individual
items on consignment. If you are a collector, a craftsperson,
or simply have things to sell, see our Consignment
Sales Service page for full details.
Look what you have just found in your attic. Something you had
long ago forgotten you had. You initially kept it for a reason.
Either sentimental or practical. Now here it is years later and
you've rediscovered it. Funny thing though. It doesn't have quite
the appeal that it once had. You shrug, what now? Put it back
in the dusty box you found it in? Or should you take it and put
it to the use you originally intended for it? That no longer sounds
so appealing. What do you do with it? It's too valuable to throw
away but you can think of no reason to keep it.
Whether you have found something in your attic which you no longer
have need of, or desire for, or you have excess items (any items)
which you have no use for but you came across them and could not
turn down the offer, or you have inherited a family "treasure"
which you either have no sentimental attachment to, or you simply
would rather exchange it for money, you have come to the right
web site.
Dooley's Treasure Chest specializes in putting what you no
longer want or need into the hands of those who do want or need
it. We don't buy items ourselves, but we help you sell yours by
featuring your treasures right here for all the world to see.
List your items here at no charge. You only pay us when your treasure
sells. Consignment
Sales Service
Please Note:
We don't buy dolls. We offer a consignment service to allow owners
to sell their dolls.

"Beautiful
Brown Eyes"
"Beautiful Brown Eyes" by Susan Wakeen. Limited
Edition. Number 1059/1500. Vinyl head and limbs. Fabric
body. About 18" long. In setting position. No damage
or defects on her body. Pink dress and bonnet trimmed
in white lace. No visible wear or damage to dress or bonnet.
White under skirt trimmed in lace. No wear, damage or
soiling visible on the underskirt. White calf length bloomers.
The only fault I can see with the bloomers is the slightest
hint of fading (or a little yellowing) on the back of
the hem of one leg and another small area on the back
side of one of the bloomer legs. You really have to look
at it in a bright light to even see them. It is not noticable
and is on the back side. She has pink shoes with lacy
ribbon ties. Her socks are white with folded down lace
edging. The heels of the shoes show a very slight amount
of soiling. The doll was displayed setting on a bed for
some time and it looks like it just picked up a tiny amount
of rub off from the surface. I tried taking a photo to
show it but it is too faint to be visible in the photo.
I suspect that it could be cleaned off but the risk of
damaging the material is not worth it considering the
insignificance of the defects. This doll was made in the
early 1990's. Somewhere between '89 and '96. Has Certificate
of Authenticity and original box. Very Good to Excellent
condition. Seller: tw

Collectible dolls are not just for those who wish to make
large displays of every doll a particular doll maker ever
made. On the contrary, most owners of collectible dolls own
just a few dolls, or even just one of those dolls. The idea
of owning collectible dolls is not to say you have a collection,
or to "add to the collection" but rather to enjoy
the individual doll for its own merit and beauty. They should
not be kept in boxes hidden away for the day when they might
increase in value and be sold for a profit. They should be
prominently display (well protected and cared for, of course)
and presented for you and visitors to your home to enjoy for
their inherent uniqueness and beauty.
The dolls we have listed here represent a large number of
different styles and doll making techniques. They represent
the span of human life from baby dolls, to toddlers, even
young adults and yes, senior citizens. They also represent
famous personalities, celebrities, as well as ethnic and international
themes.
Most (practically all) of the dolls available here are retired
and no longer available from their manufacturers. That means
you cannot go to any store and purchase them nor obtain them
from the original manufacturer. When a doll is retired after
a specific and limited number are produced, the maker makes
no more. Once the maker sells the last one, the entire population
of that doll is in the hands of private owners, just like
you, the doll buyer, and the sellers of the dolls listed here.
Many of the dolls listed here for sale are available no where
else. Yes, there are owners out there with dolls like many
of these but they are not for sale and never will be. Many
owners pass them down through their families. So the ones
which are available to buy are scarce and many which are available
for sale on this site are available no where else. In other
words, we have the only ones available anywhere. Once an individual
doll is sold, chances of ever finding another one like it
becomes slight.
Each picture and link below leads to a page featuring at
least one, and in most cases, a large collection of dolls
available. Some of the collections are large enough to span
several pages of listings so there are hundreds of dolls from
a variety of doll makers to choose from. Take your time browsing
through the various collections. The dolls are priced fairly.
Each seller may price their dolls slightly different so don't
be afraid to compare between them. Remember, if you pass up
the one you really love, it may not be there later.
Collectible dolls make great gifts. Their uniqueness, rarity
and individual beauty will be treasured for years to come
so keep that in mind as we approach the Christmas shopping
season. Or for that matter, for any occasion during the year.
Or for no reason at all. Sometimes that is the best of reasons
and the most appreciated by the receiver.
"I
am looking to find a (name of the doll) doll.
Do you know where I can find one?
No. We have no idea where you might find that
doll. That is a question we receive very, very often. We have
no way of doing doll searches. Just because we don't know
where you can find one, that is no reason why someone else
may not know where you can find one. For that reason, among
other reasons, we have created our public Doll
Message Board. There you can post your question and
perhaps someone who sees the question will know the answer
and respond. Feel free to visit our message board. It is simple
to join and FREE. Sorry, to keep spammers off the board we
have to require a simple registration by each user. Go

Keepsakes" as you can see in the pictures. All future figurines
were simply called "Daddy's". . |

It has been a long time since we've seen figurines with this
degree of detail and beauty. The folds of the fabric of the
clothing looks more like silk or satin than resin. It is that
delicate and realistic.
CloudWorks has been known for many years for the quality and
craftsmanship that they put in to their pieces. Not only is
each piece unique, but each piece is painstakingly designed
by their in house artists.
They are not hollowed out low cost resin items, but rather
quality stone resin that can be compared to some of the best
quality pieces in the world. Each comes in an attractive gift
box. See The Entire Collection
