Appraisal Report
This appears to be a vintage doll from the German manufacturer Schwenk ('Shwenk Puppe'). Schwenk dolls are known among collectors. The doll is in its original box, which generally adds to its value. The condition of the doll itself seems good from the photo, with intact clothing and features. The box shows some wear, including creases and slight yellowing of the clear plastic, which is common for vintage items. The price tag of $16.99 visible in the image is likely a secondary market (e.g., thrift store) price and not indicative of its full collectible value. Similar Schwenk dolls in original packaging and good condition typically sell in the range of $25 to $60, depending on the specific model, year of manufacture, size, and overall condition. Rarer or more sought-after models could command higher prices, but based on the visual information, this seems to be a standard collectible Schwenk doll.
