- no idea how much it is worth, passed on from Grandma. Engraved ID on the back#98226. Unglazed porcelain head and shoulders, and partial limbs. Torso and partial limbs are plush. The only tag on the dress says made in China.
The made in China says all... it is modern. Antique is 100 years old
A reproduction doll dates from around 1980's 1990's . The market is flooded with these reproduction and artist dolls that were sold by millions in the above years . Many were sold on home shopping channels and in magazines
..hmm.. So "made in china" cannot be antique? Or is it because they werent required to label them back then? Thank you for the comments!
This is not a antique doll she is contemporary porcelain doll her face tells it all . The dress marked China is just that many companies that produced these newer porcelain dolls had them made in China . But her face and bisque are not old at all .
The McKinley act involves dolls made in 1900 and yours is not antique at all.
