Old Doll - Who, Where and When???

Category
Dolls and Plush Toys
Condition
Excellent
Description

I need information on who, when, and when this old doll was made ... or, if nothing else, a general idea to get me started.  I've looked at many sites and have not found anything simular thus far.  A value on her would also be nice.

The doll is a closed mouth bisque with a complete and bald head.  She has jointed arms.  One is slightly bent and the other is bent at the elbow enough she could place it on her hip.  She is painted in flesh colors other than her face details and legs. 

The legs are painted in white socks that stop just below her knee and are trimmed in blue.  She has black Mary Jane style heeled boots. 

The only markings I can find are a simple indentation at the base of her neck in the shape of a retangle and what looks like the number '37' with lines above and below the number in a very faint blue possibly matching the color of her sock trim. 

She is in the original hand crocheted outfit she was in when my great-grandmother gave it to my mother. And, she placed 3rd in an old doll show in 1953.  I have the handmade awards and newspaper clipping for the event.

Asian Jewelry Box with unknown background.

Category
Asian Art
Description

Hi there! I was gifted this lovely jewelry box, and know nothing of the origins. I'm just here to find a little information.

There are two figurines on the top, two on the front and one on each side. I'd especially like to know what they are made of. I saw an ebay listing with one similar saying it was Ox Bone and the box was dated from the early 19C. I have zero way of knowing if that were accurate. :) 

Thanks to anyone who can help.

J.A. Bancroft 1872 School House Desk/Bench

Category
Furniture
Condition
Fair
Description

Hi all,
I am new to Insta Appraisal and wondering if anyone can help me out in placing a value on this school desk I just picked up. Also - what steps should I take to do a light restore (replace wood, etc) or best to sell as is?

Lettering in the Iron shows the manufacturer & Pat. Date. Which got me this far.

Info I have found:
Made in 1872 by J.A Bancroft & Co.
Made in Philadelphia (which is where I live)

In a quick search online I also found this "Special bulletin" from 1872 with info about this model.
Seen here : http://archive.org/details/specialbulletin00jaba

Any info or help with thoughts on restoring or selling as is and a value would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
Rich
