Very Old Motionable Betty Boop Porcelian Doll

[babiejas]

Could you please give me an estimate of what she is worth ? I received from a neighbor whos wife passed away and he stated she was very old ! Underneath her head she has a 88 and she has some sort of signature or number I am having trouble recognizing what it says ! I can tell she is older as she is actually held together by some sort of old wire and twine rope ! ;)

Hi babiejas . .. old is a relative term! I hate to disappoint you, but this is a folk-art doll, made at a ceramic studio by a hobbyist, the 88 is probably 1988, as that would be around the time these first started appearing.
No real $$$ value, just whatever sentimental connection you may have.

She is still a great doll and if she was made in 1988 that would make her 20 years old...
