she looks lovely from what I can see of her but you need to show her undressed front & back. I don't have my beading glasses handy right now so can't tell if she an 80s repro as I have one like that or an original & French or German. There are rockstars on here that could give you that information easily but need those two added pics for everyone to enjoy

It would also help to show a closeup picture of her face.

I think you'll find the word in the diamond is Columbia. Head made by Marseille for CM Bergmann, most likely.

More pictures would help, as others have stated. Check the body for a label.

great! so she can look up current bids on that to see what she needs to. I have a couple leather bodied dolls from the 80s

want to add this could be made in early 1900s

It's difficult to tell anything from one small photo. The clothing on the doll is definitely newer, and it appears the wig is as well. They could easily be replacements on an actual antique bisque doll, or the doll itself could be a newer reproduction. The molds for antique bisque dolls are public domain now and are still used to create dolls. So the presence of a maker's mark doesn't mean the doll is old. That's why it's essential to see closeup photos of the body and face.

orphie1402: You are the "rockstar" that someone else referenced above. Your research ability is amazing. 🙂
