    I totally forgot about this thread, and i have checked and it is Sugar Plum that we bought when my oldest daughter was born, from the Ashton Drake collection, and it was in 1994 when we got her.
    My younger daughters doll is called Lauren by Lauren Parkins for the Hamilton Collection.

    thanks penny, capney and peri.
    penny thats great to hear your daughters baby doll is the same sugar plum i forgot i had her shes been in her box in a cupboard for years.
    capney its nice to see a guy interested at looking at my collection thanks great to see you interested.
    peri, ashton drake dolls and the american doll collection are very sought after, The german artist rotraut schrott who made the large dolls marlene and martini, apparently has gone it alone away from american doll company, her dolls are very sought after now she is making one offs selling from $8,000 dollars upwards, mine were not that price when i bought them sure i paid around $400 dollars each for mine.
    just seen in a magazines ashton drake selling baby dolls although i bought mine in the states you can buy them in uk now. they sell for about £80 each

    Nice collection. Must be a bear to dust them all. Do you have the boxes for some of them?
