Doll Repair Home
ATTENTION!
Our deadline
for incoming repairs to be finished by Christmas is September 1,
2008.
For emergency
cases (a child's most prized possession), we can always try to
push ahead.
We are proud to have been listed by Good Housekeeping Magazine as one of the NATION'S top ten restorer's of collectable and antique dolls.
You
may have a beloved old doll that is dirty, or
broken. It may be laying in a box --- in your
basement or out in your garage --- all in shambles!
We promise not to be shocked. If
you have strong sentimental attachment,
then restoration of a childhood doll (or maybe a
doll that was treasured by your mother or
grandmother) can be very gratifying. The Doll
Hospital & Toy Soldier Shop has restored an
estimated 250,000 dolls for grateful clients over
the past 54 years. The Doll Hospital has a dedicated
staff of 5 skilled artisans as restorers, and
believe it or not, we have 100+ years of doll repair
experience between us. As you can imagine,
we’ve faced just about every imaginable type of doll
repair. We look forward to giving your doll a new
lease on life While we have thousands of antique
parts, they are used only in emergency. we
prefer to work with the original body or head
components, so as to keep everything as authentic as
possible. Over the years we have invented a variety
of techniques to bring dolls back to closely
resemble their former selves. View our
photo gallery for a
sampling of patients we have brought back to life!
Sorry! We are unable to estimate repairs over the
phone or Internet, because every situation is quite
unique. We need to examine each doll closely to
evaluate it's condition and note any pre-existing
problems. From this first-hand assessment, the
nature and cost of required repair or restoration
work can be arrived at. For those who are within
driving distance, we have at least one qualified
estimator, on duty, at all times during business
hours. We do not charge for estimates and no
appointment is necessary.
