Oh, he's beautiful! I hope Manikin can tell you how to fix him. He'd be wonderful to snuggle.
He is adorable! manikin is sure knowledgeable. Now I am kinda depending on her help. Is that bad?
He is 1930's to 50's composition doll made in USA and you could search for one to take legs off but the you would be buying one to destroy . This composition is not in best shape and paint is flaking off . I would put in a box lot and sell them all for parts :-( I am for saving dolls when they can be but sometimes they just are beyond saving ,you would put money into them they are valued it . He is common to find and if dressed in period clothes and shoes and socks in very good condition and all limbs then About 20 dollars so you see as cute as this little one is he may find a home that happens to have a spare pair of legs . Unlike Tiny Tears which are more collectible he just isn't as sought after :-(
Manikin is always tending the wounded. She is an amazing soul! No, she is a doll Doctor, and derives satisfaction from fixing their bo-bos.
He really is a cute little fellow.....
