<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 626200, member: 1476"]Those are in pretty rough condition. I don't see Spain. I do see Mexico. ("Spanish" and "Mexican" are not synonyms.) The female Mexican doll is wearing a <i>china poblana </i>costume. I do see what appears to be Scotland, the Netherlands, France and possibly Germany. And one of the dolls is dressed in Victorian costume but is not from that period. The female doll in blue dress is wearing early 1920s clothing. Two may be Storybook dolls (and the clothing may be worth more than the dolls.) The soldier is likely to be of the greatest interest to collectors. Do check for maker's marks (likely on upper back) although unlikely that costume dolls will be marked. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure those more knowledgable about dolls will have (much) more to add. And, a close-up of the newsprint stuffing would be helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
