    Hi Dalyn!

    Welcome to Antiquers...........:cat:

    They would have a hang tag sewed somewhere on the body, if they were manufactured..........

    I'm thinking a home sewer.

    You might find a tag under the clothes, or somewhere on the clothes if factory made.

    Can't tell much from your photo.

    I suspect more Vintage than antique...............

    More detailed photos could be helpful.

    Wikepedia info............

    Made Commercial and home hobbyist.

    From what I can see, the stitching around the eyes look hand stitched. A close up would help.

    The clothing appears to be made from synthetic fabric so would be vintage rather than antique. At a guess, I'd think 1970s (although by then, they would rightly have been considered offensive.)

    1. I didn’t make them.
    2. It’s history regardless.
    3. Some are average $6000 and up to $15000.
    So I would like to know what I’m working with here

    Newer copies of the $6000 ones. Without closer pics with better lighting that's what I see.

    Unfortunately your later photos still aren't closeup enough to determine how the eyes were applied.

    I assume you have looked for "hidden" commercial tags all over the doll?

    My opinion: hand sewn in the 1970s. These are not the expensive ones.

    Is it possible to link those $$$ photos?

    When I suggested home sewn, I did not mean to imply that I thought you made them.

    I'm curious to see how the high dollar ones were constructed.
