Our plans are made and vacation approved, so we will be heading south to pick up molds this year. We plan on being in Florida June 9 through 10, Atlanta June 10 to 11th, and South Carolina June 11 to 12. If you are along 85 and have molds or other doll-making stuff you want us to pick up, please let me know. (No greenware or bisque-ware, please.) We are looking for medium sized or smaller clean molds with maker labeled. No larger molds. (more than 18 or 20 lbs.) I'm on the line about 15-18 lb. molds. Please let me know.

Okay folks, first post for the day. If anyone asks me if I have molds and I don't answer them, please ask again. I am having trouble organizing my contacts. (I have 4+ emails out there not counting 2 Messenger lists.) I'm losing messages and I'm very sorry. Dolly Estate's Messenger and [email protected] (email) are the best ways to contact me.

For anyone interested in the Used Mold Listing: I am going to update it whenever anyone orders. Blue highlights/crossed out is pending. Anything I list at the end in yellow is new check-in's. At the end of a week (more or less), I will sort the new check-in's into the rest of the listings. Then you can check the "new" listings once a week without having to look through all the old listings. (If you get a pdf or spreadsheet without highlighting, it's not accurate. Please let me know.) And pulling molds for orders, we didn't get the large sets updated...

Here are the current prices for what Dolly Estates has available from Lincoln Molds. 17" or 24" Lady Marion or 24" Lord Christopher (new) sets are $150 (includes head/torso, arms, legs, body pattern, painting instructions, mold information.) All patterns are $12 directly from us, but I have some listed on Ebay for $17 each. I can send you a pattern catalog if you PM me. I do have imperfect and used mold sets available for significantly less money. (I am still learning...) If you are interested in the Front Porch Sets (20") or in the 11.5" Front Porch heads, please PM me. We can make them, but I haven't matched the pictures to the cases yet.

This is a Reference List for Seeley Molds arranged by number. I do NOT have all these molds. (For my "for sale" Seeley molds, see the list below.) This is just to help you sort your own molds or identify ones listed online. I update it as I get different Seeley catalogs.

Okay, so we had a successful mold making day on Saturday. After a great plaster disaster the weekend before, I was beginning to doubt my recent life choices... (A whole bag of $44 seized up plaster went into the trash.) I keep telling myself that each failed pour is a learning experience. This weekend we discovered there is flaws in the rubber cases. So no matter how much we re-pour the mold, it has some of the same flaws. Most are easy to clean in greenware stage. Lord Christopher's hands are going to be the absolute death of me though... I think it's a conspiracy.

Available Seeley Molds

Updated 1/8/26. Highlighted molds are pending. Once they are paid for, the mold will be deleted.

If you have asked me for any of these molds, I am sorry. My "I want..." lists are so long, that I decided it was more important to post the molds than to try to dig through them all. Prices are $15 for single molds, $10 each for molds in a set + $5 per box + shipping from 28144. A set may include 1 head but if there are multiple heads, the rest cost $15 each. Paypal payment only right now. Message me or email at [email protected] with order, name, address, and Paypal email and I will send an invoice when the molds are packed. Thank you for looking! (Sorry for any mistakes! Please message me if you can't get to it, so I know it's not working.)

We are off to the tundra today! (Minnesota) I will check in daily, but it may take a little while to get back to any messages. No orders until January 5th, then I will be back in business! May everyone have happy holidays and a wonderful New Year!
