I purchased this doll a few years ago at a charity sale; seems like the lady said it was German just after WWII. Can someone verify that, and possibly a price range. I don't think it is a valuable doll, seems to be some hard material like a dull plastic, 16" tall.
Thank you for your help in advance (love this site!!)

What does it say on back of neck or her mid back . She looks German made the era of right after WWII sound correct for her . She looks like she is made of celluloid . Let me know any name or numbers you see on her . Most apt to just see germany mark. Not a real valuable doll but is nice doll ! Thanks for sharing her .
No mark than I can distinguish, something possibly but barely impressed in her neck. Thank you for your comments.
