<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 144569, member: 993&quot;]Well, I do know that these dolls appeared around 1900... there are various theories as to their origin/meaning.&nbsp; They reached kind of a hey-day in the 1040s-50s.&nbsp; During the mid 1900s, McCalls, Vogart, Redline and Butterick pattern companies began producing their own Topsy-Turvy Doll patterns. Vogart&#039;s pattern in the1940s was titled, &quot;Topsy and Eva Doll--One doll with two changeabout faces.&quot; Redline&#039;s pattern in the 1940s was called Topsy and Eva.&nbsp; So there were lots of home-mades.&nbsp; They were actually still made up into the 60s.&nbsp; Controversial, obviously.&nbsp;&nbsp; My guess would be that yours is pattern-made, mid-century, unless somebody knows better.&nbsp; You might research those patterns and names... to see if you have a match, but... that would be a real challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT</p><p>We can agree on that, Abuela!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
