Antique Black Dolls
When choosing antique black dolls, there are few things that all collectors should know before they make their purchases. One of the biggest things to consider is that it is rare to find an antique black doll from the early years that is in mint condition.
The condition has a big influence on the value. You should always look carefully at the face of the doll and make sure that it looks bright and has overall even coloring on the face and body.

Antique black dolls that are stained, worn or are not wearing their original clothing or costumes would not be as desirable to collect and will not hold the value of those that are in better condition and in their original clothing.
When it comes to restoring antique black dolls, the more restoration that is done can actually decrease the value. Most of the true collectors prefer to find their dolls in original condition. If you do find a doll that has been restored, you should make sure that the restoration was done using the correct materials and techniques.
Make sure that the clothing and costumes on the doll are relevant to the time period that they were made in.
It can take a lot of patience to find antique black dolls. Make sure that you are knowledgeable about the dolls and that you know what to look for. There are books, magazines, the Internet and price guides that can all help you make the best decisions and find the most valuable dolls.
Not only is it important that you are informed about the dolls and know what to look for, but you should also make sure that the dealer is reputable and can provide you with a detailed description about the doll that includes the age of the doll, the manufacturer, where it was made, if it has been restored and the original price.
Antique black dolls can certainly bring a lot of joy and contentment into anyone’s doll collection. They are usually harder to find, and harder to find in good condition, but if you take the time, you can find ones that will make the perfect compliment to your collection.
