DOLLS: Can you help me with maker and names?

think these beauties may be Ronanaug Petterson or Ravca or other brand. Really don’t know and hope you can help. Any ideas.? They are a bit dirty, but appear to be in original period clothes styles. As always, THANK YOU for your expertise

This one is about 12”


She's About 16”



And finally, she’s about 20”

 

@Christmasjoy @judy ?

 

Sorry I can't help here, these dolls are later than the ones that I collect and study .. they are circa 1920's, 1930's. Very cute though, Joy.

 

I don't think Peterson.....but perhaps Lenci, or Lenci wannabees.

Look for signature on the bottom of the foot for Lenci.

Paper label also used as well as silver button attached to clothing with the Lenci name on it.

Your dolls do have condition issues.

There are many Italian makers who copied Lenci.

 

I believe I found the first doll......

I'll post photos from my book.

 

I'll keep looking for the others...........

 

Just noticing on your first doll that she is wearing the characteristic scalloped socks.

I am not finding your other dolls. Try Magis. I am not familiar with Magis dolls....just reading/seeing in my book.

 

Use the first doll to examine the other two. They should have the same body stitching. Look to see if stitching is the same on the fingers.

Need to get some stuff done.

Good luck with your search.

 

Book description also mentions toes indicated by stitching, so maybe another point to check.

 

Second one, in plaid, looks like same maker as first; third doll looks different.

 

Thanks all! I’ll be back. Have to empty a bookcase!
