How to tell the age of ANTIQUE DOLLS?

I love dolls. They are not creepy at all. Great video David.

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

Thank you. I enjoyed learning this from Carol

[@skiracer]

Dear Carol and David, The dolls are awesome! I love the knowledge too. Peace

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

She’s very good

Thank you David, for this informative video. I have dolls that were given me as a little girl in the 60s, mostly foreign ones given me as gifts by a great aunt & uncle who traveled everywhere. After re-discovering them at my mum's house, I've sold some if them through the antique center where my mum works, slow but steady. Looking forward to adding them into what I offer at vintage fairs in 2024!🎉

I always loved the German dolls with teeth. I don't have dolls anymore, but when I did collect a few I think it was because I didn't have any baby dolls growing up. Just a few Barbies.

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

Dolls with teeth…now they might be a bit scary!

[@user-ir1yo8tg5l]

Very informative

Hello David, I met you at the local railway station this afternoon where you invited me to view your channel! I hope you weren't waiting there too long after I left? Anyway, with regard to dolls, I have mixed feelings about them, but I do find some of them creepy! Best wishes, Debbie xx

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

Hi Debbie, great to meet you and your son. My daughter arrived a few minutes later…went straight for good northern fish and chips after that nightmare journey!

[@deborahsmith2583]

@@DavidHarperAntiquesTV Ah, pleased you weren't waiting long after we left, and fish and chips.... Great idea! 😋 Hope you have a wonderful Christmas xx

[@mickfromaustralia902]

Such good information. Thank you. BTW, all the dolls who I date are 1950s era so I must ask whether I can give them the squeeze test :)

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

That's a great idea…I’m sure they won’t mind!!

[@davidjones6470]

2:45 ITS THERE EYES!!!!!! that scares me!!!

[@OriginalNethead]

Dolls alas dropped in value, especially the older ones. The really good ones are still really good of course. This girl played with trains and blocks as a child instead of dolls. Then when I got dolls they rode the trains.(LOL)

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

You’re right, not very many doll collectors anymore

[@ExploreTheUKWithMe]

Great video but I find them quite creepy just looking at you some artwork is the same

[@davidjones6470]

[@matthowardtv]

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]
