[QUOTE="judy, post: 293760, member: 965"]In addition to Joy's observation, I do not think that this doll was made for the American market, but rather to appeal to those of Asian descent. I think the style of the hair and the clothing are clues to region, and I've tried to google for similarities, but not having much luck. I did find this one that is somewhat similar, but the body is not shown. [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/550351530/antique-vintage-composition-asian-boy?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=galler[/URL] As Joy pointed out, the shoulder has unfinished edges......it's possible that the factory made one size, and cut to fit, and left the edges unfinished. Like Joy, I have been collecting (not any longer tho), and I am quite familiar with compo dolls with cloth bodies. This doll is not the usual doll of the period that one sees in shops that have large collections of antique dolls. I myself am in such a shop, and have seen many dolls come and go. Asian dolls appeal to a select few.....much like Asian furniture and accessories here in the States. It's all quite beautiful and so unique. But to reiterate, perhaps AJ might be able to help with the region the doll represents and you can google dolls from that region....you might get lucky!!:cat:[/QUOTE]
