Appraisal: Käthe Kruse Doll in Original Box, ca. 1954
Well, my mother's family emigrated from Germany in 1946, and I was the first grandchild, I was born in 1952. And my family gave me this as a gift when I was about two years old, and I've had it ever since, and I've kept her in her original box in the closet. I didn't play with her too much as a child. I can tell you didn't. The condition is superb. So this doll was new in 1954. This one is made out of celluloid, and it's got a human hair wig. The condition, I can't say enough about the condition, it's so nice. To find a Kthe Kruse like this in the original box is really wonderful. It looks like you got it for Christmas. I did, I did. Yup, I can see Santa Claus on here. Have you ever had her appraised? No, I haven't, I haven't. Okay. In today's retail market, this would bring anywhere between $1,200 and $1,400. Oh great, super, super. Thank you. Thank you for bringing her in. Awesome, thank you so much.
