Welcome to Dollfixer.com

We also provide Doll Appraisals online and in person. See Doll Appraisals See Online Appraisals
We can also help you sell your Vintage and Antique dolls. We sell your dolls on commission in our display cases in antique shops in the Modesto CA. area, through our web sales portal and at doll shows all over Northern California and the San Francisco Bay area. Please note that in most cases we do not purchase dolls direct. We just sell them on consignment Help selling your dolls
Note: that the dolls you see throughout my site are some of the more interesting ones I have encountered selling dolls or are projects I have worked on for customers.
We are located in Northern California near Turlock CA. (see map). We have contacts and have been repairing dolls in the Central Valley area including Stockton, Fresno, Salida, San Francisco Bay area, Oakdale, Merced, Turlock, Los Banos and Sacramento.
The boy above is a reproduction Jumeau. I created the outfit for a customer using antique material I acquired on E-bay. The seller of the material said that the material was leftovers from the antique material used for costumes in Oprah Winfrey's movie The Color Purple. I have watched the movie several times and in the scene where Oprah runs through a field she is wearing a skirt made from this same material.

New Van
For those of you who may have been looking for me at the shows and were missing the doll fixer mobile I wanted to let you know I have a new van for the show transport. My Volvo was nice and has a lot of room but it was not quite big enough for the shows, To get everything we needed we had to pack stuff on the roof and pack every square inch in the back. For bigger shows we had to pull the trailer which was a pain. I now have a very nice Ford Transit Connect Van which can take all the show merchandise with ease. No more trailer Yeah. I was able to get the van in a nice silver color instead of the oh so common white.
