Betty Boop plaster doll

[kkovich]

I found three plaster Betty Boop dolls at a garage sale and was wondering if they are worth anything. Two of them are wearing red dresses with black heels and the third is a wonder woman Betty Boop doll. The dolls have no date or any markings on them and they appear to be old. The arms and legs are movable and held together by string. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kelley,
These are dolls made at a craft or ceramic studio. In the early 1980s a supplier of molds to the ceramic studio market made copies of the Vandor jointed doll, then sold the molds so hobbyists could make their own dolls.
As far as value, since they are unlicensed and considered hobby or folk-art, there really is no intrinsic value.
Hope this helps.
