I was searching for local memorabilia to buy and sell locally and a doll popped up that turned out to be one of the first of some very collectible dolls that originated in the town but are no long made there (R. John Wright dolls). For some reason, the seller didn't highlight the maker and I won the auction for $35. I held onto it for about a year and eventually sold it on ebay for $1,200.
