Doll Identification and Reference Links
This indexed list focuses on identifying dolls, not selling dolls off eBay. Links about cleaning, collecting/buying, identifying, packing, photographing, repairing, and selling dolls on eBay are included. Have patience while the page loads; the photos are worth the wait.
A     B     C     D     E     F     G     H     I     J     K     L     M     N     O     P     Q     R     S     T     U     V     W   XYZ
If you don't find a doll or company listed separately, look through the references that are listed by year or by marks. Sorry, I cannot ID dolls for you; go here for more help.
Searching this site: Use your browser’s page search (Edit>Find in Internet Explorer, for example) or use the alphabetic links above.
These websites are for reference only, and dolls shown are not for sale.
None of these links are paid ads or paid click-throughs. A human being, not a bot, compiles this research. Some links were shared by the eBay Dolls Discussion Board. All these links are “board-friendly” and, following rules specified by eBay for posting links, they can be posted because the dolls shown on the directly linked page aren’t for sale. This complies with eBay's rule against advertising on the boards. Links are for education reference only.
Please comment if you have doll ID links to share (no sales-only web pages). Thank you!
