These older Royal Doulton pieces have begee very collectible in the past few years because Royal doulton is now producing most of their figurines overseas. This means that they are no longer stamped "Made In England" and quite frankly in my mind the newer pieces are not near as nice as the older figurines. As time goes by these wonderful older figurines will begee more valuable and highly sought after for their "Made In England" stamp
