Also, try Worth Point, on line, you have to pay membership, or for free, search Ebay and Etsy for prices. Books by R. Lane Herron include information on Ravca, as do doll books written during teh 50s to 80s. Also, try the National Institute of American Doll Artists Site, NIADA. I wrote to Ravca during the 70s when I was in school, and he answered me. It was a thrill. Good luck.Ellen M.

I have three, I believe all from pre 1940. <br />One appears to be in very good condition.

One is sitting on a stool playing an incredibly detailed guitar with the strings all strung on it, and the other is dancing with her castanets raised over her head. The third Marin doll is an incredible Matador standing with his cape around his legs and a stern expression on his face like he is waiting for the bull to burst through the gate. The two ladies have expressions of fun like the photo above. These dolls are just wonderful I like dolls I would not say I LOVE dolls but these are really special.

I hate stories of dolls going to the dump. They can always be used for something; it's just waste. I hate the whole creepy doll garbage. I enjoy all dolls and sculpture; life would not be fun without them. Thanks to all for posting!<br />Ellen M.

My suspicions are that a lot of them have been deemed as being "creepy" or "scary" looking by today's young girls and young parents, and have been tossed in the trash, instead of sold or donated. That way, they don't have to deal with the "scary" or "creepy" dolls. It's sad to think of all the once-treasured beautiful, rare, antique,expensive dolls that have actually ended up at the dump. That's just my idea.

This past week, I've been doing long, long postponed updating. What a revelation to discover things that I've forgotten about. I'm inspired again! I get bogged down in frustrating restoration or sewing projects and forget the joy of simply collecting.
