Hi Rachel

Just a little message to let you know my beautiful doll arrived this morning. She had a safe journey. I am extremely happy with her! I have named her "Veronika".

regards and many thanks

Hi Rachel,

The Hansel and Gretel dolls just arrived safely today. They are gorgeous!
My mom and I love them. Thanks so much for offering them to us first.
We hope to deal with you in the future again!

Best Regards, Karina - August 27, 2010

 

Hello Rachel,

 
 
I have now had the time to undress the Gigoteur which works perfectly.  I couldn't be more delighted with her.  She is even more beautiful than in your excellent photos (if that is possible!) .. a gorgeous, earliest example of that model doll. The painting of her face is exquisite and finely done with a beautiful expression.  Her legs and arms which are so highly detailed, as is the torso, are those of the earliest models. (I have the Dorothy McDonagle book which carefully describes the different periods.)  She is a joy to look at and to own !!  Certainly one of the brightest stars in my collection which, though modest, includes a Jumeau Triste, EJ Jumeau, and Steiner Figure C, as well as a beautiful early Fashion Jumeau.
 
If your shop dressed her, you must thank those responsible.  (Would that be Sally Freeman ?). The Gigoteur's dress, bonnet and underpinnings are so beautifully made and they set off her beauty perfectly.
 
Lastly, Rachel, I must thank you for your timely and helpful answers to my many questions.  I know that international purchases can be difficult as the high cost of Customs and shipping often preclude the return of a doll which doesn't meet expectations.  You enabled me to be sure that I wouldn't be disappointed.  Your patience and kindness made this purchase one I will remember. 
 
Thank you again and again for your professionalism and providing me with this chance to own a beautiful, early Steiner Gigoteur in her original box !  I look forward to working with you soon.
 
'Bonne Continuation', as they say in French, to you and your joyful crew at Turn of the Century Antiques.
 
With best regards,

Just a quick note to let you know the Bakelite brooch arrived safely at my office. Beautiful item! The carving detail on this pin is brilliant fine quality craftsmanship and in excellent condition. It is always a pleasure dealing with eBay sellers like yourself who provide quality items and excellent customer service to the market place online. I look forward to the opportunity of being your high bidder on Bakelite pins in the future.
Sincerely,
James - April 6, 2010

 

Hi Rachel!

 
Little Miss Revlon doll arrived safely today & I'm absolutely delighted ~ she's just beautiful!

Kind regards & Happy Easter!

Hello Rachel, Diane, Stan and everyone,

 
I just wanted to email you and let you know the Lenci doll arrived safe and sound today.
 
Also, I wanted to say how wonderful I think she is. This is my first Lenci doll, tho' I have wanted one for many years. It was the sweet face of this doll that really caught my attention and then the gorgeous costume that took my breath away. After seeing her in person I know now why she caught my eye, what a beauty! So with that said, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and will always cherish my little Lenci
 
Thanks again and keep up the great work

Rachel,

Just looked at my emails and saw the one about your party. We were having a storm and doubted that we would be able to go, but the good Lord had the sun come out on Sat. morning and off we went. Had a good time. Thought I'd see you there. The little Barrois doll is really pretty in the big cabinet with the fashion with her trunk and all her clothes. Along with those 2 there is a littler Rohmer and a beautiful wood bodied fashion almost as tall as the one I got from you. In the cabinet also is the beautiful chaise and a special screen that's embossed die cut paper of cats. It was from Maureen Popp's collection.
So, what will be the doll you will feature in your next ad? They get a good home here and seem happy.

Hello Rachel

Today - your parcel with the pink knit outfit for Barbie has arrived and I must say, it is absolutely lovely! I have put it on to one of my vintage dolls - it is a blonde #3 Ponytail and she looks amazing with it. Rachel, thank you for all, for friendly communication, careful packing and save shipping. I wish to you and the staff of Turn of the Century Antiques All The Best AND very good business.

Thanks so much,

Marlene from Switzerland - Feb 19, 2010

 

Hi Rachel,

Just wanted to let you know that this doll finally arrived today! The doll arrived in pristine condition and I just love her! She's everything that I had expected and then some! Thanks for your help with the tracking. It was greatly appreciated.

Rachel,

 
Just wanted to let you know the Miss Revlon arrived safely. She is BEAUTIFUL!! I gave her a light cleaning, and soaked her clothes in a special whitening product. She looks like she just came from the factory. When I took her hat off, all I could think was how much she looked like Donna Reed the actress. Tanks for a perfect transaction. It was a pleasure doing business!

Rachel,

We received the 1830's Lady Full Silhouette in good order and it is absolutely lovely. Nice doing business with you. Thanks again!

Simonne - Feb 4, 2010

 

Rachel you really outdid yourself! What a fabulous packing job!! I am thrilled to pieces with the doll and the gift set. What a wonderfully preserved vintage set. i am just really really pleased. I had a big grin on my face while looking at everything. and the Betsy...oh my word what a pristine doll she is! Just to die for!

 
My only disappointment in all of this is that the eBay feedback form doesn't allow me more room to sing your praises on this transaction. I wanted to add something about "this is a seller who really knows how to pack!!" You made sure there was no way that the original box would be damaged!
 
After making this purchase I saw some other awesomely tempting things come up on eBay that i passed on since i spent the mother load on this set. And one always hopes they made the right choice, you know what I mean? but when this arrived i knew i had definitely made the better purchase!
 
A VERY happy customer!

Rachel,
My girls arrived yesterday and they are magnificent. Thank you for the stands as well. I didn't have any their size.
I've put a little Fre A Steiner child with them, and it's a great little grouping. Working on an 'afternoon at the exhibit' theme.
Love the dolls.
Thank you!

Rachel,
The beautiful all bisque Heubach doll arrived safely and because you packed her so well she was in great condition. My daughter will love her Christmas gift.
Thank you! Happy holidays!

Hi Rachel,
Both of the dolls arrived yesterday. I am ever so pleased with them. Little Rebecca is such a dainty little girl....and the Kestner is absolutely gorgeous. Love her hat. Thank you ever so much for the $50 and the $50 gift certificate. That was so kind of you. You are a joy to buy from.
Thanks so much for everything,
Effie - 11/19/2009

 

Dear Diane and Rachel,
Today she arrived (after spending more than ten days in Swedish customs), and I am very pleased; She is exactly the type of tuck comb doll I was looking for, thank you. Have just left positive feedback on eBay for you.
Best wishes from Sweden,
Marlene - 11/18/2009

 

Hello Rachel,  
She's here!! She is absolutely beautiful - love her.
The hat isn't the same as in her pics on your site, but this one is just as nice - maybe even nicer.
I'd like to than you for working with me on this, and also for very excellent packaging.
Until next time,
Kind regards

Hi Rachel,
Eleonore arrived today and is even more beautiful than I imagined. She is happily seated  now in a beautiful old chair reading a book called "Memories of Childhood." She was perfectly packed!  I did not even have to press her lovely dress.  It is such a pleasure dealing with you. 
Many thanks!

Rachel,
I just received the bear and he’s absolutely “WONDERFUL!” I’m SO happy I bought him. Thank you for working with me on obtaining him. Also, please be sure and send me the information on him from your bear books. I can’t find him anywhere in the few books I have - so rare!

Hi Rachel,

Rachel,
this is just to let you know the charming Raynal doll arrived yesterday, and she's a big hit.
My friends in the Mayflower Doll Club will be madly jealous. Thank you for getting her to me so quickly and so smoothly,
and thanks generally for a very good experience.
Hope to be in touch with you again.

Just wanted to let you know that dolly arrived safely this p.m.
She is delightful!!    
Love the little outfit.
I've always wanted one of these, with the molded hat. I now have three wax-over papier mache dolls, so that's a collection, right? :-)
Thanks again.

"I thought I wouldn't get that emotional, but SHE'S GORGEOUS!!!!!!! Thank you for being so patient with me and not being turned off by all of my questions. I know, these dolls can go very high. Extremely grateful to own her. I still can't believe I have her. Thank you!" - August 2009

 

I was finally able to visit your shop there the week after the UFDC convention.  I want to say that Stan helped me. He was very nice and VERY patient, since I must have been there for 2-3 hours!  I ended up buying a small Uncle Sam and a couple other little things.  Could have easily spent 10s of thousands, but my bank account would not hold up!
Also, Bevin was very helpful to me and made recommendations on some Shirley Temple repair.  She steered me toward the Toy and Miniature Museum in Kansas City, which I loved.
 
So all in all I had a great experience at Turn of the Century Antiques and I will return when we come back to the Denver area.
Thanks to all,
Taina Bundshuh - August 2009

 

I wanted to let you know I have you on my favorites page already. You have a Heubach 8413 character doll that I just love (the smaller one) I will keep checking back from time to time. Love your shop, love your staff. " - July 2009
