#1 doll is a newer collectors doll 1980-1990 .
#2 has very interesting body and I have to say I don't recall seeing it before . So she may have value in her unique body structure .Her face reminds me of a Dream baby . She is interesting and dates from 50's to 60's .
Would doll 2 be something worth looking into more?
I would say she is unique in construction . I am sure we could find her if searched enough .
sigi c 263 doll mark seems to be a mark they used in Italy . So I have to think she was Italian made doll . That is a start . To bad no original clothes as that would increase her value and also tell us more .
Any other markings on her anyplace ?
I love the second doll. I had one when I was little. Are you going to sell her? Please let me know. Brings back great memories.
did you happen to find out anything more about doll #2
