These are mass-produced dolls with a value of $25 or less
Hello, I am not seeing any by a Dianna Ellmer, but there is a Dianna Effner. Is it possible she is the artist?
That said, I am not seeing any sold on eBay with the number or a face match to yours, so it is difficult to give an EXACT value for your specific lovely!
To value yours, I would suggested checking back to the SOLD section of eBay every few weeks to look for an exact match and then you can average sold prices to get an estimated value for yours.
Generally the Ashton Drake dolls are currently selling on eBay (FINAL SOLD PRICES, NOT ASKING PRICES) are in the $5 to $30 range, depending on condition, box status, and other factors. There are some going higher, some lower, but this seems to be the average.
Prices are based on supply and demand, and lately because of eBay and Etsy the supply is high, the demand low, which drives prices down. I am hoping that it will eventually right itself since so many people are purging their doll collections to get space back in their homes, but you never know.
Apparently the artist had some production issues in the 2013 time frame (see article link). I haven't been able to learn more or to see if this at all impacted her sales on certain dolls since they became more scarce of there were production issues.

Hope this helps you get started on the value.
