The Alexander doll company and Madame Alexander are the same company. The Scarlett O’Hara/Vivian Leigh Doll was the first doll created from a licensed character (Scarlett O’Hara). She’s probably valuable, especially if you find any of her clothing or accessories made by Madame Alexander specifically for that doll. She definitely needs to be thoroughly researched and properly valued before she goes to auction.

Great vid! My intuition would be a separate doll auction!

Love the dolls. Fun to watch as you pull another one out. Thanks for sharing

Think this lady was an avid doll collector. I think that each doll wrapped with all her stuff was what she played with like the country doll and all her belongings. My Great Grandma used to talk about when they "went visiting far away family she would pack her doll suitcase and that is what she played with while away". Never thought about how they did that but it would make sense like this. Have a great day

I hope you consider a "dolls only" auction. You hit the motherload of dolls.

I loved watching this episode where you found all the vintage dolls cuz I love vintage dolls also and I have some Alexander dolls that are old too that I found at an outlet store in Colorado and it's a second hand outlet and I found a bunch of them and took them to fix out there in Colorado one day to tighten them all up cuz they were all loose at the doll shop Colorado but I enjoyed this show thank you

The replica dress of Queen Elizabeth for the doll was beautiful. I had an Aunt who taught me to make dresses for my Barbie. Be kind to one another. Be safe out there people. No drinking & driving. Love to all

It’s coming across to me that you possibly should be looking at a better way of selling those antique dolls rather than through auction…. You have a collectors dream in front of you and this coukd be worth lots of money! Wonderful finds Alex!

Alex, maybe you should do a collab with Dr. Lori here on KZbin and she could appraise all these dolls. She does appraisals of all sorts of art, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, etc. I'm always blown away by the amazing treasuretrove of info she has stored away in her mind.

The jewelry is for tge dolls...hard to find the right scale to use. Valuable to a doll collector. Accessories are very hard to find!!
