Howdy Y'all, my name is Sean and though honestly not a big Doll fan (except for Dolly Parton..does that count?), but i have appreciation for them seeing im the only male child of seven. Im looking for info on a doll thats been in our family forever. It has ET&N co. NY on the neck, but i can find no info on this company anywhere.
