QUESTION:
DOLL CAN NOT BE FOUND ANY WHERE ELSE ON EBAY, IT CANNOT BE FOUND IN A GOGGLE SEARCH OR IN ANY ANTIQUE DOLL BOOK IT'S NOT ONE OF A KIND BUT IT IS RARE AND THE CONDITION OF THE DOLL MAKES IT AS CLOSE TO ONE OF A KIND AS YOU CAN GET. HE IS CIRCA -1960
HE IS 10 INCHES TALL AND 4 ACROSS THE SHOULDERS THE HAT IS FELT AND HAS THE ORIGINAL FEATHER, THE FACE IS RUBBER WITH NO CRACKS OR WARE OF ANY KIND. STAMPED ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE HAT ARE THE WORDS WALT DISNEY PRODUCT
ANSWER:
We're not familiar with this piece, and without a maker's mark, we may have difficulty pinpointing value.
We'd guess it to be made in Europe. It looks remotely like one of the 1950's Schuco wind-up toys, though the key for most of those toys was on the back of the item, and the key is usually marked "Schuco". It's possible that it was produced in Spain. The red nose is rather unusual for a Pinocchio item, and it's also possible that this was an unauthorized Pinocchio look-alike. More likely, it's an authentic item (in great condition!) that we're just unfamiliar with. Without more definitive information, we'd estimate it's value at $50 - $75.
If we find any other information, we'll be sure to post it here.
Sincerely,
