How much for that Jumeau Doll?
It’s every Jumeau doll collector’s dream: finding a Jumeau doll in a junk shop.
This happened recently in Stockport in the UK. The doll was found in a Children’s Society charity shop. The doll was in a pile of other items that had been donated and was picked out by a sharp eyed worker at the shop. The doll is from 1885 and still with it’s original Jumeau doll dress.
The doll was put up for auction at Bonhams and there is no surprise that it fetched £5,200 (over $10,000). The sale was a great windfall for the charity and couldn’t have gone to a better cause.
