June 23d Auction

From Theriaults: Collectors agree that it’s fun and easy to bid at Theriault’s auctions via the internet. Sitting on the patio, iced tea in hand, mellow breezes wafting by, listening to the auction, and pressing that BID button when it’s time to bid. It’s easy, it’s fun, BUT... BUT what about the most fun of all? Actually being at the auction. Looking at all those beautiful dolls and choosing your favorites up-close and personal. The fun of people-watching. Guessing which dolls will be the crowd favorites, and who will bid on what. Balancing a box of take-out lunch while trying to bid. And, yes, the actual fun of bidding in person and the thrill with others cheering you on when you win. Then later, a nice lunch on the way home, reminiscing about the fun of the day, and the dolls you just won right there with you. Going to the auction is like a day at the beach. Just a day to get away from it all. So why not bring the fun back? We say turn off the computer, grab the car keys, call a collector friend or two, and come on down for a day of dolls. Theriault’s June 23 auction offers over 300 antique and vintage dolls to suit every collector’s tastes. A beautiful collection of dolls from an English estate is highlighted, including French bisque bebes and poupees, along with other wonderful German bisque dolls, Schoenhuts, early cloth and paper mache dolls, cloth studio dolls from the 1930s, teddy bears, doll costumes and accessories, toys, and all childhood ephemera that you love to find.
