How much is my porcelain antique doll worth?

I have my late aunt's antique doll. It has movable limbs and head and the body is composite with a porcelain face and head. She has pierced ears, real eyelashes, and brown eyes that open and shut. She also has teeth. It is about 36" tall and the back of the neck reads: Simon & Halbig S&H 15. Under her blonde, curly wig reads: Germany 1078. It is circa early, like early 1900s. Am not 100% sure if I want to keep this doll as a keepsake or sell it. But am curious as to how much it is worth. Thank you!
Answer:

This is a very large doll. She is also a very valuable doll, I have only one in my collection and I keep her sitting in a rocker on top of a display cabinet. The 1078 head is lovely head and very popular head that Simon Halbig sold. The new book of doll values that just came out values her at $900.00 to 1,100.00 they made some even larger 42 to 45 inches as well. If you travel with her in a car the head heads to be wrapped as to not get nose rubs and travel face down so the hand blown glass eyes do not fall out and break. You pay 50 per eye if you can find them. they were blown a long time ago and I personally do not think the eyes made in plastic today even compare with the look. Here is a link so you can see some other dolls made by the same factory Hope this helps
