Your Mothers Kestner antique doll by: Elizabeth NZ
Your Kestner doll sounds lovely. The best way to sell it, my opinion only, is either on ebay or ruby lane. Whichever way you do it, make sure you take good clear photos of the whole doll without clothes. Carefully examine the bisque head for cracks/hairlines/scuffs, pull up the neck slightly so that you can see whether the neck hole has any chips. State in your auction how big dolly is, whether or not it has sleeping eyes, and state clearly what markings are on the back of dollys neck. Collectors love to know that a bisque head is okay, bodies are not usually perfect but we can generally cope with that.
Good luck, you have a great quality doll with your Kestner...
