I can't remember where I got the other wee doll. She isn't porcelain, and reminds me of some sort of really solid chalk. Her legs have fallen off (but I do have them). I think her little outfit must be original (including a tiny little pair of panties). Really wish I could find out more about all three of these dolls!

Dolls - of the antique sort

I'm finding your doll saga really interesting. The "one on the left" has a wistful pull. I hope someone can give you more info. Intriguing!
ReplyDeleteMaryAnne, Have you googled vintage dolls yet? I've been doing a bit of "research" online after seeing these, a cold day here and felt like sitting down for a while, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe tall wire and fabric doll might be a vintage souvenir doll from Europe, not sure about the beads but the materials are common to that kind of doll apparently. The little one is most likely a dolls house dolly, again possibly vintage. Your baby doll is a bit more of a mystery, are there no markings or numbers at all on his back or neck? And are his joints moveable? That would help a bit more. He looks German or French to me, but I'm no expert, just an amateur sleuth, VBG.
Hooroo,
