wow, what a blessing nancy is to have as a niece - the fact she made sure her aunt’s beloved dolls were taken care of long after her passing, is so thoughtfully wonderful. i love hearing stories of how dolls made their journey to their homes. another great video & continued prayers for your darling baby girl to feel better soon 💚🙏
I enjoyed this video so much, too! I love learning about all the dolls and talking about dolls. It's like we're all just having fun together with dolls. Thank you so much for your videos and all you do for the doll community :)
I really enjoyed this video, despite these dolls are not ones I would collect. I really appreciate their age and I understand their significance. I do love Pongratz dolls and would love it Rachel if you would do a talk and presentation of these dolls one day.
@@RachelHoffmanDolls Yes I have seen Allison’s videos and they are great and they are where I found out about and fell in love with Pongratz dolls. I need more as there is not much on the net about them. :)
Love Stanley’s witty humor, definitely made me chuckle. Love the doll content! While I don’t collect antique dolls currently, I love learning about them
I know very little about antique dolls, so I appreciate getting a close-up look with some information. I remember taking some books out of the library about antique dolls when I was a kid in the 80s, but I never owned one and stuck to modern dolls. However, I still find older dolls interesting. A tour of various dolls from one manufacturer like Jumeau would be good because then we could learn some of the defining characteristics of that brand.
Would love to see a Jumeau video especially if the Jumeau in the red cape is featured. That doll is spectacular. This video was lots of fun. Thank you for sharing.
@@RachelHoffmanDolls yes I recognized her as a 1907. For some reason i love that mold more then the earlier Jumeaus. Can't wait to see her if you do the video. Take care Rachel
Jumeau and Bru are the two styles of doll I just can't find enough information on. Oh how I wish I could afford an original. Thanks so much for sharing these, Rachel. They are beautiful.
Hi Rachel I love this content. All your videos are so interesting. 👍🏼👍🏼 If you did a video every day...I'm there! 😉 This vid was so informative for me. I just recently purchased 5 reproductions. I knew they were not true vintage, but I've learnt so much from your knowledge with dolls. I'm so sad about my broken 1910 bisque doll...craving to find another like the German doll I lost. I hope to replace her one day ...I keep an eye on your eBay site. Keep make those vids. I watch and learn and somehow it makes my day a happier one 💛 I love to see you and Holland Dianne and Christopher is so much fun...And Stan Thankyou for your excellent camera work, and your gentle voice, no wonder you and baby are buds. Hope dear Linda heals up fast. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Oh no, I am sorry about the broken doll. Dolls have a way of appearing, you can find them a lot of ways so keep looking! Thanks so much for your kind words!
So sorry Holland Diane wasn't feeling well 😔. Sending hugs 🤗 and blessings ❤. It's always fun to see the treasure others collector and doll makers share with the world.
Totally like this content. Thanks for sharing with us. I like an individual subject. Keeps it simple and great for my mind😉 blessings to you and yours 😇
Also I love your dollhouse videos. I love all that you have done. I find myself watching them over again to get inspiration for my homemade dollhouse. Thanks for all your content 🙂
I really enjoyed this video. I'm glad Holland Diane is much better. Also, thanks for sharing some of your Antique doll knowledge with us all. Rachel, I think it's a great idea to develop a list of specific doll videos like this one. Yes, I would love a Jumeau doll video. Also, it would be nice if you add Brus, German, & miniature dolls to your list. I also love miniature cabinet dolls, preferably 8" & under. Those are easier to collect for those of us who don't have large homes or small apartment where space is limited. Would you kindly please show us close ups of the tiny dolls in the wood cabinets you carry in your shop. I had suggested in the past if you could do a video on them so I'm still hoping. Thanks again 🙏👌
Hi Rachel. Love this video. My kids think I'm crazy because I collect dolls. I'm glad I found your channel, and I have learned a lot. This is very helpful . I always wondered what the letters and numbers meant. I'm looking forward to the next one. Thank you.
Rachel, thank you, such a great video, so interactive so to say. Enjoyed it a lot. Please, if possible, do videos on your Jumeau dolls, on your other rare French dolls like PDs, RDs, ATs if you have any; on the character dolls or Googlies. Miss Linda and your videos on the antique dolls.
"I don't want to say "obviously"". Well done, you! You're acknowledging what's called "the curse of knowledge". Once you know something, it's easy to fall into the trap of inadvertently making other people feel dumb for not recognizing what is now obvious to you. I appreciate the kindness in which you approach your instruction.
Please bring on the Jumeaux! Love your videos and most of us probably wouldn’t mind if Holland Diane interrupted from time to time during the learning videos too! She is precious!
Rachel, I so LOVE this video on antique Dolls!! And I would LOVE it if you could do a video on Jumeau Dolls❤❤❤❤❤!!! I so LOVE the Jumeau Doll's eyes and eye lashes💙💙💙💙💙!!! And I LOVE Arax's Doll Collection❤❤ and your Mom's antique Doll Collection❤❤!!! However, my favorites from this video are: @ 24:27 because I too LOVE her red hair, her old dress, as much as her beautiful sweet eyes and face❤❤❤❤❤, Dream Baby💖💖, and the Doll with the Bird Cage🐦❤❤❤❤❤ because I also LOVE Dolls that have music boxes!!! And🙏🙏 I do pray that Holland Diane🧸🧸🦄🐻🐼🐨 is continuing to feel better.🙏🙏 And I wore a brace to straighten out my feet up and including until I was 3 years old because I was born with my feet totally turned inward. And 🙏🙏I pray that 💐💐Linda continues to do well after her knee surgery💐💐🙏🙏. I had Arthroscopy Surgery on both my knees as an Adult several years ago. l Rachel, there is so much I have learned from this video🤗🤗 and I have to learn so much more about antique dolls🤗🤗😃😃, but I so appreciate this fun video😃😃❤❤❤❤❤!!! And I look forward to seeing more Doll videos😃😃!!!!
I just love all of your content , I'm learning alot , I'm from Indiana and I think I know Cindy Bailey we both went to Pike central high school , I now live in fostoria Ohio , I seen your video when you went to Cindy's house and she has alot of beautiful dolls . I'm working on a doll collection , I just love your doll shop both your mother and you have such beautiful dolls . Thank you for your videos , I feel like I am learning a lot from you .
Serendipitously began written communications with Lynda Marx: I had at the time recently discovered a Marianne de Nuñez antique reproduction Bru bébé and began asking questions on eBay. Unbeknownst to me, the late Mrs. de Nuñez -- a very gifted doll artist in her own right and a member of NIADA -- was a contemporary of Lynda's. So imagine my eyes popping out of their sockets when the great Lynda Marx replied. Before long, I had purchased a true-antique doll from Lynda's own collection and purchased several antique reproduction dolls by Lynda Marx and by Lynda and Alan Marx -- including the sweetest JDK asian toddler. And, Rachel, you're spot on about the details of an antique reproduction created by Lynda Marx and the time that the doll artist invests in sculpting, painting and sewing outfits for the dolls.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ HUGE shout-out to Lynda!💐 (Lynda, I'm commenting under my YT name, but I hope you remember me by my mentioning discovering Marianne's antique repro Bru bébé.)
I love learning about the more antique, dolls, especially through your videos or Linda’s or other presenters…thanks so much for all this informations for it helps us to appreciate dolls & their history, which leads me to my question….Through a sewing group I belong to, I learned about women’s “Pockets” & how they made them, used them, some history…( I just received the book, The Pocket”, a hidden history of women’s lives). anyway, are there dolls whose costumes feature the “pocket” which was worn underneath a women’s skirt, that are specific kind of collector’s items? The book, The Pocket , does show some dolls with their outfits & their pockets…..just curious, for dolls themselves reveal so much about history….I’m just fascinated by these “Pockets” in general, probably because I never knew about them, until the presentation…..
When I got my first doll with human hair I was totally grossed out by it. Speaking about AM dolls...I recently won on ebay auction the most gorgeous 390 A4M. She has beautifully painted eyebrows & eyelashes, nearly full hair eyelashes, gorgeous blue glass eyes and beautifully painted lips. She was sold as damaged but it's not noticeable. I'M CRAZY FOR AUTOMATON DOLLS!!!
Hello! I really love these videos and I was wondering if you would considere doing a video explaining jumeau dolls, or in different antique doll "brands", and when is a doll considered "antique" or a "collectible", bc I am new to this and I'm kind of at loss. Like, I have two antique dolls passed down from my grandma (not branded), one made of plaster, I think, from arround 1940, and one made of plastic, from arround 1970... maybe. Either way, I know she had a couple more that were "fancier" and I was wondering if I could identify them, but I don't know how. Either way, these videos have me really hyped. Thx for making them.
I enjoy anything you do. However,I cannot afford one. I love fashion but have only one FG ..rest are beautifully done repros..I am interested in all dolls.
I am collecting dolls more seriously and deciding what scale of doll to focus on (1:3, 1:4) Could you make a video on different doll scales? I love antiques. Maybe you could show the dolls with accessories or furniture so we can get an idea of the size.
That's such a fantastic idea! Knowing the right scale can make a world of difference in how you enjoy your collection. We'll definitely consider creating a video exploring different doll scales and showing them with accessories and furniture for better context. Thanks for suggesting something so useful! 😊✨
Rachel, am I correct that the bisque used in antique dolls was white and the flesh color was painted on the outside, so if you look inside the doll's head the bisque will be white? And reproductions are often made with flesh colored bisque that does not need to be painted, so the inside of the head will also be flesh colored? Maybe this is not always true, but it seems that this is what I have usually seen in antique vs repros.
It depends on the type of doll. There are artist reproductions that are made in the right way with an artist signature and sometimes they may have different colors of bisque. Speaking about dolls that were made to be frauds and look like antiques, they are made in the same way as an antique with paint on top of the bisque. I would say that most are made like the old way - with a white or pinkish color bisque and then painted.
Thank you so much for the videos! They have helped me more than you can imagine. Do you have any videos on Marottes? I've only recently learned these even exist. I acquired an incomplete Marotte and would like to learn more about them.
Thank you for your heartwarming words! 🌟 It's so wonderful to hear that our videos have been helpful. Marottes are indeed fascinating! While we currently might not have a specific video on Marottes, it sounds like a fantastic idea for future content. In the meantime, I encourage you to dive into the enchanting world of Marottes and their history. They're such unique and delightful pieces of the doll world. Congrats on acquiring one, and thank you for being such a special part of our doll community! Stay curious and joyful! 🎭🎉 - Rachel
Hi thank you for your information, I am so exited to know about the old dolls, My Father got me a doll, first let me tell you about me, I was Born 1945 so hi must got the doll when I was about 5 or 6 years old, The doll walk I held her hand and she stared to walk moving her head one side to a nether, she had teeth and her hair was braided and put on her ears, like prices Leia in Star Wars and her dress was different colors with with collar, and with shows. I don't No how to descriver her, she was not able to set down, I guess because she walk. I love her, My Aunt and I move different times and I just don't remember how I lost her. Can you Possibly help me to find one. At the time I was in Mexico. In 1965 I move to the USA To South Bend Indiana. Presently I am In Boise Idaho. Your help will be greatly Appreciated. My Name is Lolita.
Hello Lolita, thank you for sharing your special doll memory with us. Dolls like the one you described, with walking and head-moving mechanisms, were quite popular in the 1950s and can be a treasure to rediscover. While I can't personally search for the doll, you might find luck searching online auctions, doll forums, or specialized doll shops that carry vintage items. You can also consider attending a doll show or contacting doll experts to help you in your search. Since you originally got your doll in Mexico, she might be a unique regional piece, making her extra special. Wishing you all the best on your journey to reconnect with a cherished part of your childhood. Your story is heartwarming, and I hope you find your special doll again. 🎀

Great idea!! She is a later 1907 Jumeau. Linda did a great job dressing her.

Love the 25 inch baby doll. Agree so so cute. Want cuddle it lol. Would be nice to see that in person.
😊 thank you
We have a large 192 and always thought that mark was attributed to Kammer Reinhardt. That is the only mark on the doll.
Yes, I would say a 192 is likely Kammer and Reinhardt.
I’m new to your channel, and love it all so far. Thankyou Rachel for sharing it all. From Melbourne in Australia 🥰
Yes!!! Please do a Jumeau video. By the way, your hair and that top look amazing ❣️
Thank you! Will do! I appreciate it!
Please do a Jumeau only video! Also maybe Bru later? Thanks!!

Hello Lolita, thank you for sharing your special doll memory with us. Dolls like the one you described, with walking and head-moving mechanisms, were quite popular in the 1950s and can be a treasure to rediscover. While I can't personally search for the doll, you might find luck searching online auctions, doll forums, or specialized doll shops that carry vintage items. You can also consider attending a doll show or contacting doll experts to help you in your search.
Since you originally got your doll in Mexico, she might be a unique regional piece, making her extra special. Wishing you all the best on your journey to reconnect with a cherished part of your childhood. Your story is heartwarming, and I hope you find your special doll again. 🎀

None.
How can you date an antique doll head ?
You say that you going to do 1 video at day but is not true.
I said that was my goal and I filmed each day but one last week. Even if I filmed one a day, they take several days to edit and upload..
