I like to collect old photos of kids and their playthings. In this photo from my collection it appears that both the girl and her doll are wearing the same outfit. Very unique and very cute. I am guessing that she really loved this doll. Was this a popular doll during the 1930's? Does the doll have a name and who made it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
