    I know zero about vintage dolls so I'd appreciate as much information as I can get.I can tell you that she is 14" long,has plastic-like or composition head,arms and legs,and a soft body.She's wearing a blue suit,white hat with blue brim that reads "U.S.Navy" .Her arms and legs can move.IMO,she's in great condition and I was told that she's from the 40's and rare in this clothing.I don't see any markings,names,numbers,etc.,but I haven't removed any clothing apart from adjusting her hat around,which is held on with a staple.Thanks in advance,Patti

      She is made of composition in 1940's these dolls dressed in service uniforms were quite popular during WWII. Many companies made them . It would be hard to tell exactly which made her unless she is marked . On back of neck or on middle of her back . I would not call her rare but many collectors do collect the military dolls and girls were made less than boys or men and women . She is in beautiful condition .

      Effanbee co made Skippy's hat with same label sewn on it so perhaps they are maker as her face is good quality meaning most likely a known larger company made her .
