Question by guitarstrummin: I would like to find an antique doll appraiser and doll hospital in the southern California area?
I have an antique doll, approximately 100 years old, which I would like to have appraised. I would also like to locate a doll hospital to have the eyes put back in place, they aren’t broke, just fell out of the socket and into the head. Any suggestions (southern California area) for an antique doll appraiser and/or doll hospital? The Antiques Road Show does not have a trip scheduled in California at this time.

I have a book called “Doll Directory ” A guide to U/S. Doll Museums By Katherine Witt. It list five places in California
Angels Attic 310-394-8331 S.Monica
others are in Platerville, Tarzana, Campbell. Tahoe City
I will say that if the eyes have fallen out and rolling around the head, the glass is very fragile, I think the doll should have what we call a pate under the wig, carefully lift the wig do not pull from the back with an exto knife cut around the circle pull up the pate and take the eyes out and wrap in soft tissue. If its broken save every scrap, because I can glue those eyes back to the full position, so most should be able to.
If you look on the back of the head there will be a mark maybe a mold number measure the doll. Then you can look up the dolls maker by the mold number and mark then cross reference it in the Blue Book of Doll values by Jan Foulk. Boarders carries those books stop by and have a cup of coffee and look up your doll and put the book back,
Hope this helps

Lovely, Inexpensive Time Piece,
I am a recreational Medievalist and I got this watch to wear with my Medieval garb because it isn’t so glaringly modern. I’ve had it several months now and I am very happy with it. It’s long chain fits easily over my head and is easy to pick up and read. I get compliments on it whenever I wear it, whether with garb or regular clothes. It would make a great gift for someone who is into steam punk.

I love this watch! It’s chain is long enough to put on without unclasping, you can see the time without even opening it, and it’s just so cute. You have to press a little hard to open, but I don’t mind that. It’s just the perfect size to wear around your neck; not bulky at all! I greatly enjoy my purchase (:
