    @Bookahtoo.......... The fabric may be antique/old. The dress looks home sewed.

    Often the clothes were made at home.

    The doll could be repro dressed in old fabric. JMO.

    I am not an expert by any means, and only collected one or two. With some exception, they don't have the same appeal to doll collectors as other antique dolls.

    @J Dagger...........I can't see the mark well enough. Don't be afraid to undress the doll. The clothes are not made well enough to be of concern........

    She looks to be a repro to me.

    Here is a repro body, ready to be stuffed.

    Pictures can be deceiving, but if you are listing her on ebay, I would refrain from using the word Antique..............

    Ok- thank you so much Judy.
    I will sell her at my store.
    I won't say she's antique.
    Her clothes speak for themselves - they're pretty old.

    So if she was made for The G. Fox Department Store's 100th Anniversary, she was made in 1947.
