[QUOTE="judy, post: 392952, member: 965"]Hi Auntneet! Welcome to Antiquers! I can't offer much more other than to say the body construction on the dolls appears to be different. They are similar in style, but I think the doll head on the right appears to be of better quality. They did not necessarily start off as a pair. The clothing might tell a different story. I agree with Joy that they appear to be home made dolls......at least the bodies. All body parts can be bought through catalogues. Heads, arms, legs, bodies etc. and then assembled at home. When antique dolls became very desirable/collectible, so did a new enterprise begin......reproduction dolls. The reproduction dolls can be found in many thrifts, yard sales, etc. The clothing is usually lavish. Enjoy them if you love them.[/QUOTE]
