American Character dolls were high-end dolls with well-made clothes. The dolls were made of composition, rubber or hard plastic. The company made baby dolls, toddler dolls, mama dolls and other dolls in several sizes. Can you tell me her present value?Ī: The American Character Doll Co. She can't say "Mama" anymore, but other than that, she is in fine shape. The doll's eyes open and close, and her mouth is open in a smile that shows her teeth. Q: My mother bought a beautiful American Character doll for my 9th birthday in 1932. It was taken over by the Nazis in 1938 and became Ostmark-Ceramics AG. In 1919 it merged with Ditmar and became Ditmar-Urbach. The pottery where your set was made was founded in 1882 as Brothers Urbach in Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia, Austria (now Trnovany, Czech Republic). Sets like yours sell for about $200 to $400. The marks on the bottom are "Ditmar Urbach" above a star, the letter "Z," an image of a wing and "Made in Czechoslovakia." When were they made, and how much are they worth?Ī: The mother-of-pearl glaze on your set was popular in the 1920s. There are six large canisters labeled Coffee, Rice, Oatmeal, Flour, Sugar and Tea six smaller canisters for spices labeled Ginger, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Allspice and Pepper and two cruets labeled Oil and Vinegar. They're decorated with gold trim and red roses. Q: I have a 14-piece set of kitchen canisters that are the color of mother-of-pearl. The maple and mahogany worktable with an attractive patterned top sold for $3,900. An October 2013 Skinner auction offered an early 19th-century sewing table missing its original bag.
