Dolls of the World

(Laptop on the blink again.)

Donation from someone's large, vintage collection of dolls of the world.

Many have no markings-- some here have tags, Made in Italy, Portugal;
doll with painted wood face from Russia, USSR; next-to-last doll with her painted vest, from Romania; final two from Poland.
I don't know where the Black doll is from--his handwritten tag said, "Handformed clay, 1930s, $45".

 I spent most of my 5-hour shift yesterday pricing and photographing dolls. I priced them high for the thrift store, low for Etsy-- $3 to $15 (the Black clay doll). I love them all but don't want to take any of them home, or much of anything else either. I see two reactions to working in thrift-- buying tons of stuff and buying almost nothing. I do like having a camera again though, to catch details.
