<p>[QUOTE="SYNCHRONCITY, post: 2144700, member: 6283"]Hi [USER=1211]@lloyd249[/USER] You have a homemade kit doll that was made to look like an antique German low-brow china head doll. The molds used for these dolls were from the original dolls made in the late 1890's to early 1920's. Sometimes they even had the original impressed marks on the back of the shoulders and these type of dolls confuse people. A lot of people think these are antique originals. Hobbyists used to buy the parts including the head, the body pattern, the arms and legs and paint them and put them together as a craft. It was popular to do this in the 50's-70's. The person who made it, made a pretty organza style dress for it too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours looks like it may have been made in the 1950's-1960's. It's a nicely made doll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
