Is there someone locally who purchases vintage dolls?

Sun Spots is a valuable resource for your subscribers. Thank you. — No name, Lewiston
ANSWER: I don’t have a specific name in the Rolodex who has that type of mowing equipment so I suggest you check in with a local landscaping company or with someone who does bush hogging. Try Carrier Lawn and Landscape, LLC at 577-8756.
Dan at Orphan Annie’s Antiques in Auburn may be able to help you with selling your dolls. Located at 98 Court St., his phone number is 782-0638.
And by all means, call the fire prevention clerk at 513-3002, ext. 3607 for information regarding having your fire extinguishers and smoke alarms checked.
