<p>[QUOTE="AshTheCrafter, post: 9431941, member: 81139"]So I have inherited an old doll after my great grandmother's passing. I really want to know what brand or how actually old it might be; after doing some research I've figured out the doll is most likely a composition doll, maybe from the late 1930’s she's about 12” tall and has hooked and strung ball joints on the base of her limbs. I have scoured every inch of the outside of the doll and can not find any logos or any indicating markings. I have found out that she is quite similar looking to this 1936 Alexander Wendy Ann doll, <img src="https://www.dollreference.com/images/ma_wendy18ann_bo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />which were also composite and made out of saw dust which I suspect my doll may be made of at least in her legs. However, my doll's torso is a bit squat/shorter than it She has green sleepy/blink eyes and Black hair which is a wig I think. Here is the doll.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/854480145984389183/1101701358094135356/B1D8B0A4-1F9A-4D0B-91B2-3F121E0E1EC9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/854480145984389183/1101734892296994886/doll_side_view.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/854480145984389183/1101734939382272120/doll_face.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/854480145984389183/1101735599326646283/doll_leg.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
