I have had a couple like her one I hadto get rid of beeecause shehadpastic rot the other I havve in parts until I can find where her head latch is to restring her. Some of these were really pretty but made with an inferior plastic that disintegrates horribly. still a bit dirty and  needs more cleaning up, she also look like she has had serious leg crack someone tried to repair


There's truth in lies and lies in truth, would I lie to you???

why the gremlins had to post me twice when I tried to fix typos! we don't even have the wind going for the type of bt keyboard mayhem. If her head doesn't smell you could sell that as she has a lovely face or the whole doll for parts and repair the difference there would be the shipping cost.

She looks like composition to me - very similar face to the Madame Alexander McGuffey Ana dolls. Is there a tiny circle with an x on her neck under her wig?

Then I think you could call her an unmarked composition doll, assuming I'm correct on the composition - a little hard to tell via the photo. The damage to her leg looks more like the paint lifting seen on older composition, and you can look inside her neck - if the edges are super smooth & machine-like, it's more likely plastic. 

She may have been repainted at some point, her face looks quite smooth.

look at the bottom of her feet and seams, my first thought was cop too until I looked closer at the way she was cracked. there were alot of imitations of both MA & Ideal both in comp & in plastic and some of them like her had beautiful faces
