Fig, they sure look like Billikens.

 

Why do those dolls in that picture look like little piggies?

Sharonna, I would post your doll with the markings on the head on that other place's doll board. I can give you a link if you can't find it if you private message me there.

My sister just had a yard sale and her elderly neighbor is a widower. His wife had an extensive doll collection, mostly worthless, porcelain dolls, but we did find some Armand Marseilles dolls in it. I also have to take pics of them and inquire about them on that other places doll board.

 

It is a postcard

Sharona, your bell appears Chinese, first half of the 20th C. with a carved ivory finial.

Speaking of dolls......

Picked-up this vintage (mid-20th C.???) Native American (not sure what tribe) leather, horse-hair and beaded doll with a hand-drawn face. Size: 14 x 9 inches. She's a bit dirty, but should clean-up well.......I hope!
