Yes, those original German dolls - oooooooo I wish I had one DROOOooooOOOOOLLL - not only for the doll itself, but can you IMAGINE the value of it????? There are very few of them around..... I'm lucky - with a wife and 2 daughters who all love dolls, if we go on a trip someplace and (like recently) we see a gorgeous carved Swiss wooden doll (in the style of a classic porcelain doll but perfectly hand-carved wood!!!) with beautiful curly real blonde hair and pretty pink cotton frock and she costs an absolute fortune, nobody objects if I suggest we buy her lol..... lucky me. Everyone just nods eagerly and you takes out yer wallet... and she's ours. And I'm male and 47. :] Fish nutty collector
