The woman I got this little 3 inch tall ceramic doll/figurine from said she is a very collectible Googly Eye Doll from the early 1900's. I have not been able to find anything like her. On the bottom of the back of her dress the word "German" is stamped, it may say Germany but I can't tell. Any help as to what she is and her value would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Beth

Very cute unique German novelty doll . The large eyes are very collectible among some collectors . She is painted bisque therefore the paint loss . This appears to date to 1920's and 30's . Very cute . I don't do appraisals since they change by the day but she is very sellable :-)
Terrifying!
Awsome!
is she going to be shooting out light beams?
She does look like she might shoot out lasers at the slightest irritation. She's my secret weapon.
LMAO:) LOL:) LOVE IT:)
