I have a lenci doll from 1935. It was a gift from France to 6 yr old me
It is beautiful, I cherish it.

I seem to be late in watching these! Wonderful video! I was lucky to know Nancy Lazenby when she lived in Eugene, Oregon. She got me to go to my first doll club and was such a sharing, caring collector! We used to have our Christmas party at her house and it was such a treat to see all her fabulous dolls. She will be missed by the many people who called her friend.

So helpful I just bought these at an estate sale! I thought these would be cool creepy dolls but instead they will now start my doll collection ❤

Your presentation was very informative. Thank you very much. If you would ever do another Lenci presentation, it would be most helpful to focus on the different tags & when they were made.

Yes you love one of my grail doll companies. I first saw Lending dolls in St Gallen Switzerland when I was in boarding school at the premier department store... They told me of two shops that carried them, both antique stores and I was an avid visitor to those dolls at age 12. Way out of my price range far beyond Kathe Kruse

How do you clean these dolls? I found one at an estate sale that I believe to be Lenci, but it is pretty dirty. Any advice?

[ellenbrunot]

Dear Michael, This was lovely and I learned so much. I was not a Lenci person before but once again you have given me to a greater appreciation of an area of doll collecting. I am wondering, how do you keep these dolls moth and dust free? Thanks again Love to you both, E.L.Brunot

Hey Michael, I have a collection of Lencis, and I have learned a lot about them. I am in the process of listing them and was wondering if you could point me to someone who does appraisal?
