A 110-year-old Arman Marseille Koppelsdorf doll is up for sale to raise money for the JSPCA, donated by an elderly lady who left her house to charity.
The doll, made around 1915, is going for £150, with all the proceeds going to the Animals' Shelter.
Betty, described as a 'lovely lady' by the JSPCA, left her house and all its contents to charity before she passed away, as she did not have any family.
The elderly lady would often adopt animals from the shelter, attend its fundraisers and was well-known by its staff.
After Betty passed away, the JSPCA thought it would be only fitting to sort through her house themselves out of respect.
Towards the recent end of the clearing process, a volunteer came across a vintage doll chest, and inside was the doll, Victorian-era children's cloths, letters and birthday cards. Possessions, the charity says, Betty 'clearly treasured'.
The collectable item still has intact glass blue eyes, and the eyelids close and open when lying or upright.
World-famous German doll makers A.M. Koppelsdorf started making the popular dolls in 1885 and ceased production in the 1930s.
Best known for their fine, bisque porcelain features, the dolls are some of the most common in the antique market today.
The 996 model (as seen above) typically sells for around £150 to £180 at auction.
Prices for the dolls have declined since the early 2000s due to the increase in popularity of online second-hand websites.
Islanders have been sharing their opinions on the doll:
What a lovely kind gesture
An early birthday gift for you? Or one for the archive?
Others have taken to the comments to joke about the doll's appearance:
Is her name Annabelle?
She looks like how I feel most days after adulting.
Volunteers found more 'vintage treasures' in Betty's house, which they plan on selling to raise money for the shelter.
After completing research on the items, more belongings will be going up online or at an auction house.
