    Hi all and happy new year!

    Can anyone help with any information, make, date etc on these 3 dolls please. They do not have any identifying marks.

    Thanks!

    Souvenir dolls from 60/70s. ( As an aside,the braid on this one is very similar to Sindy's extremely HTF hair band,so possibly the same era...1972)

    The last doll is typical of dolls that were used to create home made clothes. Pattern books of either, crochet, knit or fabric were produced for the home maker.

    The first two are from Italy, the last one looks French to me.

    Yes, that makes it difficult to pinpoint a region. There were no regions where all lace dresses were worn, and the red braiding on the back of the lace cap is not original to any traditional costume. But the shape of the cap points to France.:)

    When we were traveling back in the 80s, there was a series of "Dolls from around the world" and we'd always buy one for my daughter from whatever country we'd been to. The first two look like that set. The last one looks like a hippie doll. I'm trying to remember - wasn't there a Barbie type doll that looked like that?
