Featured Can anyone identify this charming dollie?

She is 6 inches tall, and made of celluloid (I think). She has sleep eyes, and is jointed at the shoulders, hips, and head. When you turn her head, her legs move. There are no markings anywhere. She stands on her own. Any thoughts? I don't know any terms to use to search for her.

 

Google Image Search found this similar one, not in English though. MY NAME IS MISS BLUE EYES. I WALK, I TURN MY HEAD, I SLEEP, I AM MADE IN THE BRITISH CROWN COLONY OF HONG KONG. https://en.todocoleccion.net/intern...piernas-vez-cabeza-abre-cierra-ojos~x29669613

 

120 euro?

 

I found this old etsy listing for similar dolls. They have been sold and I don't think there is a way to find out more.

It's been around for a while! You can also see what "best offers" really went for.

 

Empire Made is usually Hong Kong for plastics.

 

In the Sindy/dollying world **Empire Made** means exactly what my Mrs. B said and it means 60s
