    Welcome to the forum. Quite a variety of dolls from around the world. I suspect most are tourist souvenirs. I have taken the liberty of editing (cropping and resizing) them so they can fit in a posting. Most people here are leery of clicking unknown links because of the danger of malware/viruses/etc. Also many do not have the time to go to another site to view an item and in your case several items. Your pics are huge. Many of them were way too big to view on my phone or iPad comfortably. For posting in a query they needed to be resized. For example the pic of the Eskimo dolls.
    Your originally pic:
    Dimension-wise: 2988 pixels wide X 5312 pixels high
    Weight-wise: 507.91 KB or 519,892 Bytes

    After cropping and resizing it is not:
    Dimension-wise: 450 pixels wide X 517 pixels high
    Weight-wise: 27KB

    At the bottom of this message am posting 6 of the pics. In the next message am posting 6 more. Only 10 images are allowed in in each message.

    I was interested in the Eskimo dolls for I have a very similar pair. One of the dolls had skis with ski poles (one of the skis and pole got lost through the years) and the other has on snowshoes. They are dressed in white leather with fur around hood. cuffs and bottom of coats. The dolls look identical in shape, face and composition. The eyes open and close. Mine were given to me by a great aunt back in the 1940s. She had collected dolls from at least the turn of the century to possibly as far back as the late 1880s when she was a girl. I suspect mine date from the 1920s?

    Here is my 2nd posting with the rest of the dolls.

    We also have what I think is an identical doll to the 11th doll. I can't put my hands on that doll at the moment. For the life of me I can't remember where or from whom we got it. Our daughter may have it somewhere. For some reason I think??? my mother brought it home from Europe for DD back in the 1970s after a trip to Portugal and Spain.

    I should not have tried to date those Eskimo/Iniut dolls for I don't know when such dolls were first made from that plastic. I guess they could have been made through the 1930s up into the early 1940s??? They were given to me in the late 1940s. My great aunt had them ever since I could remember in a glass display case with many other dolls. I had been intrigued with them for some years. One day she opened the case and gave them to me.

    BTW, I did find an identical one to my one in snowshoes on eBay. It has the same body, face and identical clothing front and back, but not the snowshoes.

    Hi, Bunnii!

    Please, please don't think anyone was criticizing you! Getting the hang of posting photos on this forum has baffled many a newbie!

    I was just sending a shout-out to Susan, since I, too, have many times re-posted someone else's photos so that everyone could see them. Several others here have done the same, as well, and I was just acknowledging her efforts.

    Welcome - and please stick around!

    all the best,
    -C-
