    Mildred Seeley Doll?
    :confused: I am researching some of my mothers dolls for her, and cannot find any information on one. It is all bisque (I am assuming, some sort of porcelain), has jointed arms and legs, the joints are held together by some sort of white cloth-like material, and a blonde curly wig attached by a hole in the top of it's head. It's wearing a pink frilly dress and has matching pink ribbons in the hair. On the back of it's head made into the plaster it says in big letters "JOLENE'S DEBBIE", underneath that in smaller letters it has a copyright symbol followed by "Mildred Seeley Original". It says 1970-something, all you can make out is the 197, the rest is too faint and rubbed out. I researched Mildred Seeley but couldn't find anything about her making dolls, only plates of dolls she collected. Any information anyone can give me on this doll or how to better research it will be very much appreciated, I'm at my wit's end after all of the dead ends I keep finding!

    Hi there, I have a Mildred Seeley doll too and can't find any info or site or link to get help. Your right it's like running into a brick wall. I noticed you are in TX that is where I lived when acquired the doll in about 1994. Please let me know if you sold or found the value. Thanks... greenmakescents

    Hi, the late Mildred Seeley was internationally famous for her vast collection of antique dolls; for the Doll Artisan Guild, Seeley's molds, being author of about 20 books and the marvelloul way she took the mystery out of making reproduction antique dolls! Her whole family was involved in the business - her husband Vernon made molds of her (often very valuable rare antique dolls.

    Thousands of people all over the world have found fulfillment in making skilfully crafted dolls under Mildred's tuition, through her books and the guild she founded. We have all become richer - not just financially - for the privilege of discovering her.

    She was an amazing lady, and I personally owe her a debt of gratitude.

    Check out eBay and Amazon for Mildred's doll books, workbooks etc. and I think also the Doll Artisan Guild still exists.
