Is this doll worth anything? Who is she?

[dot341]

Got this one from my Dad. Does anyone know if she is worth anything? Who is she? Her clothing appear to be ethnic but I do not have a clue what culture she is from. She is small at about 10" tall..

Sorry, she is 7" tall not 10"

did you check her back? she looks like a little comp of the tie I think 30s or so they were alot of them that somewhat copies Madame Alexanders girls. When I was younger I even got one in a MA dress [didn't pay too much for her, knew she wasn't and the dress was worth more than I paid] Her worth I think would be in a keepsake from your dad as personally, haven't had that much luck with off brands compositions like her and larger online

She appears to be an early souvenir dress me doll.   Sadly not much resale $ value.   

I always feel they have their own charm though.
