Caroline Ashleigh Appraisers & Auctioneers

In the following clip, Caroline Ashleigh appraises a vintage Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Doll Collection: Evaluating the complete set of dolls based on characters in the seminal 1938 film, Caroline Ashleigh noted that the manufacturing of products associated with films represented the foundation upon which Disney built its empire. A store owner in an antiques mall once offered the owner only $35 for one doll. Seeking information on the doll's value, the owner checked everything from the Internet to the library before appearing on Antiques Roadshow. The set, which was in very good condition, and in their original boxes, would sell for at least $2,000-$2,500, Ashleigh said. "That might give you a bit of an idea of the value of holding onto things, and keeping them in as fine condition as you did," she said.

Very early on Debbie Reynolds had the foresight to collect items of movie memorabilia. As a result she has amassed an incredible collection. In fact, it's the world's largest collection of Hollywood costumes and props. This will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime event when these items go to auction beginning on June 18th, 2011. I'll be watching this one carefully and reporting back on the action. For more information, read the full story at the Caroline Ashleigh Auction Blog .
