Hi I was wondering if you would be able to give me a valuation of each of these dolls please. My grandmother recently gave them to me and has asked me to get them valued for her.

Cinderella: Not in original box - never ever seen a spec of dust - A* condition - the bottom has a stamp which features the name Gerda Neubacher

Little Miss Muffet: In original box - never ever seen a spec of dust - A* condition - Has her spider and her bowl - also the original booklet and letter of purchase from Franklin Mint and Carol Lawson

Red Riding Hood: In original box - never ever seen a spec of dust - A* condition - also comes with the little booklet about the doll - designed by Maryse Nicole

Snow White: In original box - never ever seen a spec of dust - A* condition - the bottom has a stamp which features the name Gerda Neubacher - also has the little booklet

Little Bo Peep: In original box - never ever seen a spec of dust - A* condition - also comes with her 2 sheep

Catherine Rose: In original box - never ever seen a spec of dust - A* condition

Without taking them all out of the boxes again I believe some say Taiwan? Not all of them say where they were made, it is just a clear printed sticker so I imagine they may have fallen off or not had one at all

As you know, these were produced in the 1980s and 1990s as "collectables" by a company that specialises in such things. You'll see these listed on the likes of eBay asking anything between £10 and £60, depending I think on the would-be seller's optimism. I'd suggest you watch a few examples and see what they actually fetch.

So no real value initially then? I know my grandmother paid £120-£145 per doll, Snow White being £145 in 1993 as I have a receipt stub.
As I say she was curious as to the value and I thank you for your time

Most Franklin mint items do not increase in value and as Nomad has said Ebay is a good guide.

But there are some of the Franklin Mint items are what we call "sleepers"

This is an item that for some reason goes against the rule of thumb for value.

Snow White being £145 in 1993

This may be one of those items

Before Nomad gets the recognition for a joke or sarcasm

all the dolls laying on their backs become sleepers.

Some can sell well if you market your items internationally. I know the porcelain dolls can be worth around £25-40 on ebay which isn't too bad really.
