<p>[QUOTE="sassafras, post: 9766505, member: 6320"]That's the dime store knock-off of the son from the Lundby dollhouse family. Your head is from the earlier version when the bodies were made with wire that was then wrapped with twine. With the cheap versions the wire did not extend into the head (solid bottom) and they detached frequently since the twine was the only thing holding them on. On the later versions there was a hole for the wire to extend in to the neck. The version after that switched from twine to rubber bodies with the same internal wires. Your head is from the 1950s. Judy's correct and I too wouldn't put any additional effort in to research, as the country it was manufactured in won't make a difference as far as value. He wouldn't bring more than $3-4 if he were complete and in good condition. Hope that helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
