The Flea Market didn't have many things that caught my eye, but these two Dolls looked like they could be used as Display pieces, not really good for a Collector, to me just had a Good Look! :^D Just would like to know something about them! The large Doll is about 24" top of head to bottom of foot the eyes shut when it is laid down, and it makes kind of a crying sound! The small Doll is 20" but it looks like the bottom of the legs have been replaced!
Thank You for Looking, all Comments, and information on these Dolls are Welcome and appreciated! :^D

The small doll appears to be a tin head doll by Minerva of Germany . Dates late 1800s early 1900s . All original so she is wonderful . Your big doll is a composition Mama doll from around 1940's . Called a Mama doll because crier box in her stomach sometimes sounds like Mama . Not original clothes but wonderful condition. Look lower on their necks and back for marks ok and I will watch for your reply to what you see or photo mark for me ok . Nice find !
Thank You Manikin for Comment and Information, I can't see any marks on the neck of the Crier Doll, the body cloth is glued to the very bottom of the Head, but that's just a thin edge, and Yes the Clothing is marked 12mo and made in Philippian's! :^D

I have looked at your dolls again and believe the brown hair doll is a German paper mache doll in original clothes . Dating 1890 appx.
