Question by : How much is my porcelain antique doll worth?
I have my late aunt’s antique doll. It has movable limbs and head and the body is composite with a porcelain face and head. She has pierced ears, real eyelashes, and brown eyes that open and shut. She also has teeth. It is about 36″ tall and the back of the neck reads: Simon & Halbig S&H 15. Under her blonde, curly wig reads: Germany 1078. It is circa early, like early 1900s. Am not 100% sure if I want to keep this doll as a keepsake or sell it. But am curious as to how much it is worth.
Thank you!

Question by : Can anyone please give me some information on this German doll?
It was purchased at an antique auction in 1944. I believe that is a German doll and is made from Kid leather and has a clay head. It also has a loop on its head so that a ribbon can go through. I have attached some links (hopefully they work). I am only looking for some information on it and maybe even a value on how much it would be worth.
Thank you
