How old is this doll?

Any ideas on how old the doll might be? It is stuffed with sawdust. The joints are wired with metal. The head is hand painted and looks like composition. TIA

@Daniel oshaughnessy - How big is your doll?

 

It is 15".

 

That may help the 2 members I tagged who know about dolls.

 

Thank you for tag xx

Will preface by saying I don't really know about this sort of dolly, my thing is Sindy & fashion dolls. This is a souvenir type doll though, and they were made in a similar way for decades.
Twentieth C for sure, I am inclined to say 1930ish but hopefully someone else knows better than I do xx​

 

Based on the style of the face, I would guess 1920s-40s.

 

I agree...20's to 40's.

Head might be compo, but it also has a molded plastic look to me.

Strange look. Head almost looks too small. (marriage?) First glance I thought possibly boudoir doll, but limbs don't look floppy enough.

Curious about the green "string" on the body.

 

So interested in comments above as I didn't have a clue as to age. The embroidered band around neck is unusual (to my eye.) Wonder if wasn't a foreign doll originally in native costume.

Thinking foreign myself.

 

I agree with foreign, (was what I meant when I said souvenir xx)​

 

Agree with foreign/souvenir costume doll. The ribbon around her neck is something you see on Hungarian costume dolls. Maybe others too, but at the moment I can only think of Hungary.
