About appraisals——I am happy to uncover the mystery of what it really “is” that your grandmother willed to you, or what a really good friend simply gave to you, but I do need a little help! It’s truly difficult to identify and illuminate your requests to our mutual satisfaction, without actually having the doll or accessory in my hands. But honestly friends, I DO need pictures and I DO need as much information as you can give me from your side. This includes ALL the marks incised or stamped into the head, AND the body, the height of the doll, and whatever else you can provide me with. This identification process is already immensely convaluded by the metaphors you ask me to unpuzzle to try to comprehend what you are actually referring to when you give me your descriptions. Again, I’m fine with it, as I love to share, but I need you to do some homework my friends.
And if I may say one more thing on appraisals. I do charge for this service. I just done’t want you to be surprised or disappointed. So with all sincerity, if what you want appraised is not really of any significance to you, I humbly ask you NOT to ask for an appraisal.
On another subject, I love hearing from those of you who are truly interested in what I have to offer on the subject of antique dolls, toys and accessories——–but I would really appreciate those of you who attempt to use my site as an advertisement for your own advancement, or just to leave a message like it’s some sort of social networking site to cease and desist. Your comments and silly ads. WILL be trashed anyway, and frankly, it makes YOU look ridiculous. Surely you could leave yours ads somewhere else where maybe someone would appreciate them. Thanks for your attention to my site as always. I appreciate and greatly value all the support!
