Just finishing with a big batch of dolls, mostly Madam Alexander, and there are a few that have no ID's. So I thought to ask whether anyone recognizes these and whether they are collectible or whether they should just be donated. Thanks for your help!

The blondes are Amy and Meg from Shackman Little Women kits:

I think the last doll is by Ruth Gibbs.

No markings at all? Those last few look very much like porcelain imitations of vintage dollies.

Thanks - couldn't find any markings - maybe I can list them as "porcelain imitations of vintage dolls" - the clothing is pretty clean and well made.

The top doll is just a modern porcelain doll with little value. The middle pic is two reproductions of 19th century parian dolls. And the bottom is a reproduction of a 19th century china doll. The repros have some, but not great, value. Search for reproduction china and reproduction parian in the Doll category to get an idea of prices.

Discovered these interesting marks on the Ruth Gibbs doll - wondering if these were from whoever made the porcelain pieces or whether they were added later?
