Hi hope it okay to post this here, I really dont know anything about her. She is definatly handmade, her face is stiched. She has garters on both her legs and boots that appear to be leather. She has pretty bicone bead earrings. I dont even know if its an antique but fell in love with her as soon as I saw her:) And thought it might be worth trying to find out a little more about this doll. Thanks Ahead of time.

Hi nice homemade doll . She is not an antique and of coarse the material is the clue . No Vinyl for boots and they would have used a natural fabric like cotton or wool . I can only estimate without holding her in my hands but I would say from 1960's to present . I know it is a large gap but some dolls you just have to see more like what stuffing is made of ect . She is precious and If you love her that is all that matters . She has very little value money wise but much value in pleasure she will give you :-) Thanks for sharing her
Thanks Manikin I appreciate your knowledge and quick response. Thanks Again :)
Your welcome sorry I could not be exact on year for you but I think that it gave you enough to know what she is . Thank you for your kind response :-)
