Dresden Lace figurine

[GibH]

Picked this up yesterday, paid $5 for it. I'm not sure of the value, can't find another one just like it. I also can't find a match for the mark. I've found the five point crown with Dresden in cursive underneath it, but this has Dresden printed. Looks like the number on it is 5883D, but I can't find that anywhere either. It appears to be made in Germany.

So, to make a long story short, not sure if it's worth $10 or $100.

Gawd, I hate that stuff. My grandmother collected it and I was the one to Ebay her better? "collectable rewarding accessory purchases". It has been over 15 years so my knowledge is way out of date on marks. My only advice is, lots of pics, insure it and way over pack it for shipping.

Those things can be found cheap in ts'rs and do sell generally more than you pay on them. I always look these figures over in my local TS and some I've made 20 to maybe 40 bucks on. That if they're old and undamaged. I think the people who buy them do it on an impulse, as they never seem to get a lot of lookers when I list them and one bid that sells for my starting price that can be 5x what I bought it for.
