    Why do those dolls in that picture look like little piggies?

    Sharonna, I would post your doll with the markings on the head on that other place's doll board. I can give you a link if you can't find it if you private message me there.

    My sister just had a yard sale and her elderly neighbor is a widower. His wife had an extensive doll collection, mostly worthless, porcelain dolls, but we did find some Armand Marseilles dolls in it. I also have to take pics of them and inquire about them on that other places doll board.

    Nice finds everyone!

    Sharona, your bell appears Chinese, first half of the 20th C. with a carved ivory finial.

    Speaking of dolls......

    Picked-up this vintage (mid-20th C.???) Native American (not sure what tribe) leather, horse-hair and beaded doll with a hand-drawn face. Size: 14 x 9 inches. She's a bit dirty, but should clean-up well.......I hope!
