Hi does she have a mark on back of neck ? She is made of compostion from 30's to 40's . She looks a lot like Horseman baby Dimples . Can you check her back and back also for raised letters . She is likey not her but is a character face doll. Not just a baby face . Tell me what letters you see ok
nothing on the back of neck .....the cloth has a metal srap in front ..i don't want to brake anything ...what do you think ...whats the value ...thanks for the help
Because she is unmarked makes it hard to ID her maker But I would say USA made . I will say her smiling face is more sought after than a plain doll face, however in light of the damage to her and some repainting to lips her value in todays market very low . The cost to restore her would be counter productive since it would cost more than you would get for her . I don't like giving prices and we don't do appraisals on this site but I can say she is under $ 50 . A doll restorer may buy her but would not pay much as it is alot of work and expense in all the items you need to fix her . Dampness is the enemy of these composition dolls causing cracking ,paints chipping off . Some survive with little crazing no cracks others did not fair so well as yours did not . She is very cute and would be precious restored . She does not have her original clothes which collectors like and it could have been who made her was on a wrist tag or label in her dress. I will try to send a link to one similar to yours if I find one :- )
