[QUOTE="judy, post: 652214, member: 965"]Hi Lauren.......if you can't find a name on the back of her neck, or on the box, you will probably never know who made her. It really doesn't matter, as she has little dollar value on today's market. She is one of the millions of collectible dolls made by many many companies. The Companies that made these dolls cleaned up back in the 90's or so when antique dolls were the rage. And many did buy thinking that they would increase in value.....just the opposite is true though (sadly for those novice collectors who fell for the pitch). They were lavishly dressed and some were made better than others. However, they are "a dime a dozen" today. At home doll makers also joined in buying doll parts to complete a doll at home. Others made their own heads, buying the body parts to complete. Still other designers came up with their own creations, and some of those did very very well. Even antique dolls have lost their dollar value......not all, but most. If you love her, then that is all that matters.[/QUOTE]
