[QUOTE="judy, post: 478023, member: 965"]I agree, hands on to be sure, but I think her head is antique. Antidiem.....Extremely doubtful from Japan, and only a rare possibility if a repro. Until you pointed out the "lump", I hadn't noticed. It might be the angle of the photos and it's just her chin. If I remember correctly in the first thread, she has been in this condition since 1949. The material of the cloth body appears to be old and quite sturdy. The gusseted body appears to be well made, and if a replacement, more than likely sewn like the original. Nice detailed body....sign of a more expensive doll. Leather boots were usually used for the style of feet on your doll. The leather arms are probably newer replacements than the body. The clothes she wears are later also. Taking her to a doll show would give collector/dealers hands on opinions. Sadly however, doll shows are few and far between these days......because of the declining interest.[/QUOTE]
