Bought her today. She has some issues, pretty bad cracking on the top of her head and a piece missing. She says "F.I.H. Co Inc" on the back of her neck, and when you lay her down her eyes close. I hear a noise when I lay her down, don't know if her eyes are creaking or if she was supposed to make a sound. Made of composition, about 20 inches tall.
Nice Buy ! She is one of a very Horsman Dolls that have held value ! She is baby Dimples " Her mark is I.E.H that you see :-)

Your doll has had some re painting for sure lips and maybe more hard to see on photo how much works was done but she is still beautiful .
From the looks of her, it appears its just the lips and teeth. Rest looks like original paint
could be some on eyebrows also . But she has maintained her value :-) The cracking on top of head will not take away much from her as she can be fixed and collectors love "Baby Dimples "
Very cool. I guess all that really matters is I love her....what my husband doesn't know won't kill him LOL
LOL never tell husbands it is a pack between us girls :-) This one is solved and you got a beautiful gift for yourself too .
Very true, Manikin. The way I see it, he spent a TON of money on paintball stuff...this wasn't a lot. Thanks for solving for me!
Your so welcome :-) enjoy her .
Manikin, I have another doll I haven't been able to find ANY info on. Can you see if you recognize it? http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/25686-composition-side-looking-baby-doll?in=user
