Featured How old is this rag doll?

Off the top of my head... I'd think 1940s.

Mommy-made / folk art type project. May have come from a pattern in a lady's magazine. As such it's impossible to say really, could be as late as 50's-60's but the clothing looks older.

 

It the length is mid-calf -- can't tell from your photos -- not going to be earlier than 1920s. I see a ruffled collar, puffed sleeves, basque waistline, tiered skirt; all of these are elements of 1940s fashion. As are pompadour bangs.

The doll is a home-made rag doll from the 40s. It wouldn't be surprised if she was something made for Christmas or a birthday during WWII when you couldn't go out and buy stuff. The dress is a lot earlier; it may have been something Mom already had from her own dolls.

 

Someone's precious Darling. I had Raggedy Ann, an' Andy. Sure wish I had kept 'em. Not so much for their value now...but for company on cold, wet, windy winter nights.

 

Except for the hair color, your doll looks similar to this pattern doll designed by Edith Flack Ackley 1934-40, or so says the listing.
