Display Cases for Dolls
Display cases are designed to put your favorite and most valuable dolls on display. These cases are typically glass or mirror on all sides, with trim at the edges. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes, made for anything from a small miniature doll to large stuffed dolls. These cases can most commonly be found at arts and crafts storees such as Michael's and A.C. Moore, as well as at online retailers such as DisplayGifts.com and QVC.com (see References). Online auction websites and price-compare websites like Buy.com and eBay.com also carry different styles of doll cases. Inventory will change on a regular basis since quantities available are usually low.
Carrying Cases for Dolls
Carrying cases for dolls typically are made to hold dolls while traveling. These cases have compartments for the dolls, as well as storage spaces for clothing, accessories, etc. Carrying cases are most commonly found at toy stores such as Toys 'R' Us and the Disney Store. They are made of heavy-duty plastic or rubber. Online retailers such as ToyWiz.com also sell these carrying cases, along with Amazon.com and eBay.com.
Antique Doll Cases
Antique and vintage doll cases are popular among doll collectors too. These cases are harder to find, but they are highly valuable if they're in good condition. Antique shops are usually the best bet when shopping for these vintage items, but a few online retailers sell these as well. RubyLane.com sells vintage cases from the 1960s, as well as ToyRocket.com, and a few antique dealers have these available on eBay.
