An easy online search for "porcelain doll values" will produce many answers. Keep in mind that just because a doll may be fancy, old, inherited, etc., it most probably has little value as most are mass produced in the thousands and very often include the rather misleading term limited edition in their names and may also have an essentially worthless certificate of authenticity. A doll's condition is extremely important in considering value-the best doll prices are paid for dolls literally never removed from their boxes. You can find prices for some dolls on EBay and try online for further research. This site is a good place to start:

My guess is that this is #1 in a batch of 2841 dolls. Its probably not worth much.

Identifying your doll:

  1. By telling me it had a French beret helped me to narrow this down some.
  2. The doll is made in France.
  3. The doll manufacture is Bernheim & Kahn doll maker 20 Rue des Quartre Fils 1904-1906

  5. I am so sorry I can't seem to find what the numbers mean.
  6. I can't find out the name of the doll either.
  7. The closest I can come is to identify the manufacture of the doll.
  8. I found the manufacture on this site, but there is not much else to go on. I am so sorry. dollreference.com/french-antique-doll-makers-and-marks...
  9. They also have a forum on the site and many people on this site collect dolls.

I may be mistaken about the hat being a French beret, it could also be Victorian.
