This auction features a collection of antique and vintage dolls dating from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, including examples from German and French makers as well as character and decorative dolls.

The sale includes bisque head dolls, composition body dolls, and early character dolls in a variety of sizes and styles. Many retain period-style clothing with lace and traditional materials, offering both collector interest and decorative appeal.

Makers represented include Heinrich Handwerck / Simon & Halbig, Armand Marseille, Grace S. Putnam, and S.F.B.J., along with additional European-origin examples. Lots are offered both individually and in groupings, creating opportunities at multiple price points.

Condition varies and reflects age and use, with some wear to composition bodies, fabric, and finishes. All items are sold as-is.

Heinrich Handwerck / Simon & Halbig 22″ bisque head doll

Pair of Grace S. Putnam “Bye-Lo Baby” dolls

How This Auction Works

This is a live virtual auction, not a timed sale. It operates just like a traditional live auction, with all bids submitted to the auctioneer online. There is no countdown timer.

The first lot will open at 7:00 PM, and the software will accept bids from multiple online platforms. Each lot will be open for bidding until bidding slows, at which point the system will give fair warning and declare the lot SOLD! before moving to the next. The lot will be open for about 15 seconds if no additional bids are placed.

You may place pre-bids in advance or bid in real time once the lot opens. Pre-bidding is recommended to ensure you don’t miss your lot if you forget the sale or cannot bid quickly enough once the auctioneer closes the item.

Please note: there is no countdown timer and no automatic time extensions. The pace of the auction is set by the bidding platform based on bidding activity. Once a lot is declared SOLD, bidding will close immediately and the next lot will begin.
