DOLLS PRICE GUIDE

PRIZE BABY ALL-BISQUE prize.jpg (23778 bytes)

SIZE: Doll comes in two sizes, 5 3/4" (shown) and 7".

MARKS:  208 on back of head; paper label on chest which says "PRIZE BABY// REG U.S. PAT OFF. //MADE IN GERMANY. 

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 1914; manufactured for George Borgfeldt.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DOLL:  Chubby all-bisque toddler, glass eyes, painted features, jointed at shoulders and hips.  Molded shoes (painted black with amber soles) and molded waffle socks.  Doll  has original paper label on chest. Dolls often have sleep eyes (the larger doll, not shown does) but this doll does not.  Dolls have painted eyelashes.  Loop joints; This doll the smaller one, is marked "208   3" inside legs; larger one is marked "208 4"

PRICE:  $200 smaller size; $300 larger size;  more for all-original outfit, or original box. 

COMMENTS:  I have given extra information on this doll, in case you find one without the paper label (the labels usually fall off).

MARKET TREND: Up (especially those with labels), as collectors enjoy an all-bisque doll with good identifying information, such as the label.  Also, these dolls have a chubby appeal, and are one of the few early American all-bisques.
