Value of the Chatty Cathy doll below.
This list is how I price my dolls and is not to be used as fact. It is NOT FACT, it is for my pricing only.
The way I price my dolls is first and always by the dolls head, then by the body, then by the limbs. The color of the hair is also a factor when pricing. Redheads first, then brunettes, then blondes.
#1. Foreign talking Chatty Cathy will be the highest priced dolls.
#1. Black Chatty Cathy Dolls pig-tail, bob, paige boy all have black hair with brown eyes. if they are in good shape can go higher than a Canadian doll.
#2. Canadian dolls Pig-tail, Bob, (hair color) redhead, brunette, blonde, (eyes) decal, pinwheel, glassine. are almost always priced higher because of the way they look and because there just is not enough of them to go around, so everyone wants one.
#3. Hard face American blonde pigtail dolls with blue glassine eyes
Hard face American Paige Boy dolls with brown eyes can be more rare than a Canadian doll because they are so very hard to find. The Paige Boy brown eyed dolls almost always have bad faces because they are notorious for Chatty Cathy Measles and so very hard to find one in good shape.

Also I have heard there are Hard Face Redhead Paige Boy Dolls But I have never seen one, I don't think anyway. She would rank in value at the top of the American doll list if her face was clear of chatty white spots (measles).
NOTE: After reading this page you will better understand that all of these factors will play a part in her value. All in all I think there are some 40 different heads and maybe more that I have never seen or have forgotten to list. Going on 5 different bodies. With 6 different colored sets of limbs and will either say 11 or 18 different phrases. (what is the math on that!) This is why there is no sure way of telling you her value. Not until she is repaired and talking again anyway.
Value of the body after repair. Click here for all about body.
1. number 5 open grill with 4 bottom holes and with white plastic speaker.
2. number 4 open grill missing 4 bottom holes with white plastic speaker can say 11 or 18 phrases.
2. number 1 covered grill with closed voice box and black paper speaker says 11 phrases. (prototype).
3. number 3 open grill with red or black paper speaker says 11 phrases.
4. number 2 open indented grill with closed voice box with white plastic speaker or black paper speaker says 11 phrases.
5. number 1 covered grill with closed voice box and black paper speaker says 11 phrases.
Note: I have a brunette bob with glassine eyes with a closed voice box and 2 grills with a white plastic speaker that says 18 different phrases and has a 1962 orangey/pink record inside her. The doll had never been opened so I know she is original. So I am thinking she may of been some kind of prototype. (a test doll)
Limbs: can not be priced by the color alone because different colored limbs came on the different dolls. Like the prototypes always came with the nice brown limbs. But if for example you see a blonde pigtail doll with nice brown limbs, they will not look right on her because she Never came with those limbs. So depending on the doll and the color of her limbs the doll came with, will be what she will leave here with. But a lot of limbs are stained up so I do have to change limbs on the dolls a lot! I buy many, many junk dolls just for the limbs. So if you see a doll I have bought on ebay and her price seems high compared to what I had to pay for her please remember that chances are I did have to replace her limbs and a lot of the time I have to replace the body to. Also I will have to replace her record if too scratched up to use so all those cost are in her price. I can not just buy a doll bring her home to be fixed and resell her. That is not the way it works. It would be nice if I could do that but these dolls are so old that most of them are in a high state of repair. Some are not worth repairing but I will use them for parts. I save what ever can be saved off of a doll. Hair, eyes, teeth, good limbs and records. Other body parts as well like the casement if in good shape and the fly wheel. I have to save what ever I can to try to keep her price down. If I have the part I need here then it keeps her price down. If I have to go out and buy limbs or a body her price will go up. Please remember these are very old dolls and they take a lot of time to fix. They are not just opened fixed and closed up again. I do detailed work. There is not one spot on the doll inside or out that I have not seen, cleaned, repaired if needed and checked. And checked again and checked one last time before she leaves me for her new home.
1. Canadian peachy color limbs only on Canadian dolls. (Some are also smaller than American dolls)
2. Canadian nice light brown limbs on some bobs.
3. Peachy pink limbs on American dolls. (some can be smaller than others)
4. Dark brown limbs found on prototypes and covered grill bodies.
5. Light tan limbs on American dolls. (some will call them yellow I call them tan or skin color because they are not yellow!) Plus they seem to be slightly bigger than the more peachy colored limbs.
6. White limbs on American #3 dolls. Normal for this doll but she also come with other colors
7. Ghostly White Limbs I will never use. They are also found on a #3 doll, I do not use them because they make the doll hard to sell, so I trash them. But I do have in my own collection dolls with these limbs. Plus some people do not mind them on their dolls.
NOTE:.. I swear this has to be the hardest page I have even done because there are so many different Chatty Cathy dolls. I had a very hard time remembering all of them and I still do not know if I remembered all of them. This is why this doll is such a highly sought after doll. Plus I haven't even got the the different "Freckle patterns" or the fact there maybe Hard Face American Pinwheel Eyed Chatty Cathy Dolls. (Click here for Chatty Cathy Eyes.) There are NO 2 Chatty Cathy dolls exactly alike.
I am continuing my experiments on the Chatty Cathy doll and will continue buying the Chatty Cathy doll with the strange or different eyes, bodies, shorter limbs or open right hands, side parts in the hair, side or upward glancing eyes and now foreign speaking Chatty Cathy dolls. I always have some kind of experiment going on. So if you would like to learn more as I learn please keep coming back because I am also always updating this site and my findings on these One of a Kind Classy Chatty Cathy dolls.
