I have come across a huge cache of Craft House Make-A-Doll Kits still in original box/cards plus a few already made. These are 9" dolls. They have molded plastic/vinyl arms, legs, and head. The body is sort of a styrofoam dress form that snaps all the other parts together.
The box [URL removed] Easy to assemble – Materials Pre-Cut – No Sewing Necessary – Kit contains everything needed to complete this doll. For ages 8 to Adult.
I have all but Little Bow Peep of the storybook and special occasion series of 12 dolls. All are on the original blister cards except Cinderella and that one has been made. Also have all but Miss Germany of the Dolls of all Nations set of 12 dolls also on original blister cards except for Miss Scotland who has been made.
In addition there are already constructed Miss Summer Day and Miss Spring Morn. There is also a Dolls of Yesterday Ante Bellum in the original box.
The only date I could find was on the instructions for Ante Bellum from 1983.
So, what would be the best way to list/price these? Would you sell 2 sets of 11 and list the odd 3 separately or would you list each doll separately? There are 25 doll in all.
Also, if any of our doll/toy dealers/collectors that have any information on these cuties, all help would be appreciated!
Oh, I can post pics if needed but don’t have pics yet.

Are the dolls like this one?
![URL removed]
I would sell them individually. Those that you have duplicates just one listing and the quantity of 2
*[URL removed] I went to the DarkSide and found a couple of these girls
(Doll & Bear / Doll Making and Repair / Supplies
I found 2 Ads that offered 2 dolls for $10.00 and 2 dolls for $16.00. (
?? Maybe sell them for $5/each ???

Good luck with those! I know of no market for them. Best bet is to watch the ones referred to on the dark side to see if they even sell. I’ve never had any luck trying to sell craft dolls.

@Policequilts, yes, that is one of them I have! No duplicates, thankfully. Any idea where I can do more research on these? Is there a market for them?
Thank you again Policequilts! I looked there but didn’t think to search by category! That and not knowing dolls I really didn’t know where to even start!
