    Hi 916!

    Hi Pearls!

    I don't think I can be of any help. I am curious to see the mark on her leg tho.

    One would think that would be obvious.

    Apologies Mikey! I don't know how I missed it, but I did!:(

    It could've been written by anyone.

    Hopefully @Any Jewelry will be able to help. Perhaps the outfit is regional. She might be able to date it by knowing the region.

    Yeah and it's in pencil so any time period also.

    Yes, she is wearing a regional outfit. It is from Volendam, near Amsterdam, but missing the iconic lace cap. (Maybe that's why she looks a little upset.;))
    The ribbon around her neck is in lieu of a gorgeous coral bead necklace.
    My guess is that she dates from the 1950s, but @judy may have to correct me on the date.

    Volendam, the white kerchief is for a bride, but otherwise it is the same as your little girl:

    Thank you AJ.

    Actually I was thinking 50's myself, but could be earlier or later...............only the doll knows! :cat:

    Thank you all very much
    I don't think it's possible to find one that fits my doll so she will have to go to a new home without it.
