    Would love to know what maker and any information about this dolly
    It's hard to identify her in this position but maybe someone knows!
    I think she's from 1890s or early 1900s
    any help would be appreciated.
    She looks like maybe 12 to 14 inch size based on the size of the girl who is holding her.
    Thank you!

      It would be impossible to tell exactly what doll this is as face is not clear and there would have been a mark on back of her neck with company and a mold mold number . I can say she was on a kid leather body with bisque hands but unsure if face is bisque. composition,wax or metal. I see dark spots on face so I am thinking not bisque . She is likely a made in Germany doll . Dating 1900-1920's . Very cute picture love it !

      Thank you Manikin, I am hoping someone maybe recognizes her by the eye set and maybe somewhat pointed nose... But you have given me some good tips, I keep trying searches on google and ruby lane to try and see if I can see something simlar... Do you think she's 12 to 14" based on the size of the little girl? I think anything will help with searches similar at least! :)))

      She reminds me of a wax over because of peeling on face

      I went a while searching those type too! I've seen some that are similar, it looks like she has a closed mouth to me. I wish the photo was clearer. I am going to see if I can add a photo, there was another doll that I believe was posted with her sister, she looks similar but it's hard to say because the eyebrows are longer on this doll and she looks bigger, but perhaps it might be the same maker. I don't know if I can add it to my post but I will try.

      So the third picture is I believe the little girls sister's doll. They look similar maybe she will be a clue!

      The 3rd photo first doll is bisque and second doll is a Minerva Tin head doll
      The first doll has a closed mouth it looks like which dates her earlier than I said more like 1880-1900 . Thy did not make as many closed mouth dolls as open mouth. She is German and she has almond shaped eyes which could be a clue .
    7. willobea willobea, 9 years ago
      At first I thought it was the same doll, but this one just looks larger and the eyebrows are bigger, unless she's just been loved, but I think the doll I am looking for could also have almond eyes ? I wish I had a better straight on photo. I will keep googling dolls and try and narrow it down to this year and german. Thanks so much for all your help!
