Additional Services & Information

	Most orders completed in under 8 weeks. I will do rush orders at no additional charge. Composition Dolls with major damage will require a longer visit.
	Mail Order Repairs - I restore dolls for people from all over the country, so if you would like to ship your doll to me, call or e-mail me for shipping information.
	I restore all types of dolls but I specialize in Composition dolls of the 1920’s and 30’s. I do constant research on them to restore them as accurately as possible and also to know and identify the many dolls that were made from this era.
	Please feel free to call or e-mail me if your doll is in need of repair, and I can discuss the different methods that I use to restore my customers dolls. I want my customers to be fully assured that their “Little Ladies & Little Gentlemen” will be very well taken care of while visiting my Repair Shop. I give ALL my customers the best personal attention and that every doll and toy that comes to my shop will get the same quality care. I say this because I have found that when my very young customers drop off their dolls, they are more hesitant to leave their dolls/bears than my customers with antique dolls. So be assured that all the treasures that visit my shop are treated as “Priceless”.
	Special Service for the Elderly or Disabled - I will pick up and drop off your dolls. There is a charge for this service that will be based on the mileage. (This service is for local New Jersey residents only).
	I will do written appraisals of your composition dolls for insurance purposes, or just for your personal information.
	Your dolls are Insured for Fire, Theft, and/or Breakage while in my care.
	Due to the overwhelming demand for my work, seriously damaged dolls will require a 4-6 month visit for completion of Restorations. As always, simple repairs only require a brief visit.
