Hi! I have owned this doll for about 25 years now, and my grandmother owned her for an unknown amount of time before she gave it to me(She owned her for many years). This doll is absolutely 100% the same as when I acquired her... clothes, bonnet, hair etc. I have always figured she was 1930s or 1940s as that is when my grandmother was young and would have been playing with dolls herself. I now believe she may actually be earlier than I previously thought, but I really am stumped. I don't know if this was my grandmother's personal doll from childhood or if its something she picked up at a yardsale over the years. But I figured the doll must have "spoke to her" in some way as she was NOT a doll collector by any means. I'm hoping to get an idea of the age of this doll mostly, but any info would be great. I have searched her whole body and can't find a single mark anywhere. Her hands and forearms, head and chest, and legs and calves are all made of bisque. Her face is absolutely hand painted as you can tell from the photos. Her eyes aren't quite perfect etc. Her hair is not molded, but im unsure if its real hair etc. Her body is cloth and I can't see what she is stuffed with unless I cut her open. The clothing is VERY fragile and thin. What do you think? Age range? Original clothes etc? Possible country of origin? This doll has been a mystery to me as long as I've had her. Bursts of researching have only confused me more honestly. Dolls are not particularly my specialty, but Id love to learn more! I appreciate any info, opinions welcome as well
