Hi Bratjdd
Your dolls are referred to as a PMA (Plastic Molded Arts Doll) or Dutchess Dolls. They came in fancy see through box displayed nicely. They were dresser dolls not for play and were sold at the Five and Dime stores . They were inexpensive and sorry but have no real value . They are very abundant and don't sell well . Maybe a few dollars. Date from end of 40's and mostly into late 50's . There boxes sometimes gave them names like "Hollywood doll" ect . Cute :-)
Thank you Manikin :)
