A beautiful baby doll. Only about 7 inches high but the eyes close when laid down and she even has little toes. Mom In Law said,,,Oh she is very old,,,I dont know how old she means but it has to be 50 or 60 years.
One side of her hair looks like she was nearly scalped but still in very nice condition. I dont know if the red dress belongs to her. She also came in a round clear plastic tube. I cannot find any manufacturer marks or dates.
