I have a 1958 Herman Miller/Eames aluminum group lounge chair. I believe it is pre production because it is stamped Patent Pending on the bottom and I think that makes it rarer and perhaps more valuable?
The doll is 51/2 inches high, has brown eyes that open and close. Ceramic head, arms, legs and original clothing. The doll is possibly British in origin as it belonged to an elderly lady who came to America at the age of 5 with her family. The family settled in San Diego and remained in California from then on. Other than that there is no information with regard to the doll except that it is in good repair, however the maker of the doll is unknown.
I have a collection of 3 buddah looking dolls that are ceramic or porcelin and have distinct stamps with imprints on them I know they are very old as the person that originally obtained them received them back in 1920 or the late 1800's. She used to travel to egypt, china, japan and other various places collecting art. She was given these three dolls as a gift from a close friend while visiting china. She also left us another buddah doll that I will have to post on a seperate post that is fairly large it is about the size of my leg and wuld also like to have it appraised.
