The two crowns were not originally together, in my experience, you'll have a better return selling them separately... ~Cheryl
If mine, would sell them separately (did you mean maybe 3/4" rather than 1/4" for the smallest piece?) Pretty little pieces like these were...

Have to run out again now, but looked through a few retailer's catalogs, and I'm not much on dolls, but did run through some toy catalogs too -...
