The German kitchen set Patty purchased from e-bay for about $200.

The doll with the pearls was Patty's 1st Antique doll. It was a gift from her cousin, Jeanie Hansen. She bought it for her when Patty made her daughter's wedding cake. The doll is German, and has sleepy eyes.

Maker: Mori Mura Brothers, worth about $50

The doll is in mint condition, original wig, but not original clothes. During the 1940's Japan would make dolls because the German market couldn't because of the War.

Patty saw this doll in a Tucson store, and wasn't sure since it was marked from Japan. When she returned home, she did research and found out about how Japan made dolls during the war, and realized she wanted it. When she went back to Tucson, it wasn't there. On her next birthday she was surprised with it by her husband, who had snuck back to Tucson to buy it for her!
