GUEST: I bought her at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago, and she came with a little card that said she was a rare, 31-inch, poured wax... APPRAISER: Okay.

GUEST: ...blue glass-eyed doll.

I don't know what that means.

(laughs) APPRAISER: (chuckles) Okay.

And what did you pay for her?

GUEST: $100.

APPRAISER: Well, your doll was made in Germany.

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: And she's a wax doll.

And what's really special about her is usually wax dolls have glass eyes...

GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: ...that just stare at you.

But these actually sleep.

GUEST: Yes.

They look brown to me.

But the card said they were blue, and I wondered if they'd turned color.

(laughs) APPRAISER: No.

So, you know what?

When you get a card with a doll, it doesn't necessarily mean it went with the doll.

GUEST: Oh.

And she also came with-with this?

APPRAISER: Right.

GUEST: This separate dress.

It was just in a plastic bag with her.

APPRAISER: Right.

So this was probably the dress that she wore originally.

GUEST: Oh, really?

APPRAISER: And then someone added this baby dress later...

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: ...which is very sweet.

And...

GUEST: Here I thought the other way around.

(chuckles) APPRAISER: And one thing I really wanted to note about this doll is I see a lot of German wax dolls...

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: ...and let me tell you, and I'm sorry, I don't want to offend the other wax dolls out in the world, (laughs) but they're usually not very pretty.

They're just kind of... homely.

(laughs) But look at this child.

I mean...

GUEST: She is pretty.

APPRAISER: ...she is pretty.

GUEST: And big.

I-- she's like a small child, really.

APPRAISER: She is, she's child size.

GUEST: (laughs) Yes.

She-- APPRAISER: --trust me, I'm holding her.

She's child weight.

GUEST: (laughing): I know she is.

(both laugh) APPRAISER: Just this costume by itself...

GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: ...would sell for $300 or $400.

GUEST: Really?

Even with all the moth holes?

(giggling) APPRAISER: Even with the moth holes.

On ROADSHOW, we like the moth holes.

That means it's not been messed with.

Retail on your doll, we'd be looking at $750 to $950.

GUEST: Not counting the dress!

I'm-- and how much did you say the dress was?

APPRAISER: $300 to $400.

GUEST: $300 to $400?

I'm shocked.

(laughs) I am shocked.

APPRAISER: Are you still going to give this doll to your sister?

GUEST: Mmm... (laughs) Maybe in a year or so.
