Antique German Doll
I am trying to identify if a doll I have is antique or valuable?
The doll is about 6 inches tall. On the back of the neck is a marking of a spider and the number 18. I believe it may be German made. Can anyone help me identify this item as having any value at all?
you need a doll reference book. I would check if my local library has one.
