Appraisals
Don't be uninformed! Get your collectibles appraised!
​
Doll Cradle owner Connie Harrell is a certified appraiser, one of the few specializing in vintage and antique dolls. Besides dolls, we offer appraisals for china, figurines, costume jewelry, silver, furniture, crystal, and more!
​
In order to perform a legal appraisal, we must see the items in person. Appointments are required for in-house and in-store appraisals.
Please always call ahead to ensure the appraiser is not out of the office. Especially when traveling long distances.
​
Our base pricing is $25 per doll, or $75 per hour. But we will not charge you if, at first glance, we determine the item in question is not worth getting appraised.
​
Call to set up an appointment or if you have any questions.
​
Buying Dolls
We are always in search of specific kinds of dolls for our list doll collectors. We can buy one doll or an entire collection! Consignment options are available.​
You may also email us photos at sales@dollcradle.com if you would like to save yourself a trip. We can let you know by looking at them if they are something we would be interested in purchasing.
​
Don't have something we are currently buying, but you still need to part with your dolls? ​We accept donations for our doll hospital. Your old dolls can help us bring someone else's beloved back to life! We also pass on dollies to our young visitors, nursing homes & local drives to support our Shawnee community.
