Hi, I have no idea how old this doll is but I think I have had her all my life. I am now 50. I have always known her as Olive Oil. Her face, hands and feet have been stitched then coated in something to make them hard. She is wearing sandles, has underpants, a peticoat, skirt and top. Her hair feels very soft, maybe it is silk. I really love her.
If anyone knows anything about it please let me know.

Hi I have one just like her :-) they are cute and I believe were tourist items . I would date mone from around 1970's to 80's . I just saw her last week when I was going through some stuff to donate if I can locate her I will post her . They are quite full of character :-) If you date yours older as it was yours they may have been making them longer than mine is . I do see them for sale fairly often on ebay .
