Madame Alexander dolls have a long rich history. You should be familiar with a few terms as you begin a collection. Sometimes terms referring to the ages or "eras" of a doll can be confusing and overlap each other. A good clue as to the age of a doll is sometimes the material from which it is made.


Pre-1930 Madame Alexander dolls are considered antique. Dolls that are currently still being produced are known as contemporary. Dolls who are less than seventy five years old but more than twenty five years old are called "collectible". And dolls from the past twenty five years are considered "modern".

Of course you shouldn't confuse the word "modern" as it describes the dolls age with whether or not a doll is worth hanging on to . There are many Madame Alexander dolls that do not fit into that fifty year period which would be a highly prized part of any collection.  I've included a video at the bottom of this page made by an eBay seller.  It shows off some of the beautiful Madame Alexander dolls she has sold.

Something I've seen recently that may interest collectors is large and small lots of Madame Alexander dolls being sold on eBay.  Many of these are vintage dolls that could certainly be sold individually if the seller was so inclined.  What I mean is, most of the time, these dolls are offered for sale individually.  Often, they have some pretty hefty price tags attached to them.  Lately though, I've been seeing more people selling off entire collections (lots) all at once, in a single auction.  This will end with a rather high price in most cases, but if you are a serious collector, bidding on one of these multi-doll auctions might actually end up being a bargain.  What you have to do is check out each individual doll, figure out what you would be willing to pay for it and then compare the cost of buying the over time with what you could get for one "bulk" price.  You might end up saving money in the long run.  Of course, you need to set a firm limit for yourself so that you don't get caught up in a bidding war with another collector who also wants the dolls.
