Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. It is a beautiful vintage doll. Such vintage toys are being offered at auction on a regular basis. Your Madame Alexander Sonia Heine skating doll was made in the 1930s and it is made of composition. It was very popular (and still is) to model dolls and toys after famous sport stars or movie stars. Your doll appears to be in very good conditions with all the original clothes, skates and accessories still intact. This is important for a selling price. I believe that your doll would attract the attention of both collectors and dealers if it came up for auction. The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online toys auction, where I believe the Sonia Heine doll has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the lovely and well kept doll. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help. Thank you
