Mystery thrift shop dolls

Any thoughts on the possible history of these two dolls?
The blond measures 10" and the back is marked "Pat's Pend." She's made of hard plastic.
The second doll is 8" tall, with a painted cloth composition face and cloth body.
TIA

 

The first one resembles a Lenci, but lacks the quality. But just to be sure, check out the bottom of the feet.

2nd doll is hard plastic.......probably 50's/later.

Hundreds of them were made. I don't know of a doll collector who collects them.

Appeal would be to the person who can say "I had one just like that!"

 

A Lenci..........

This one wears a cardboard tag.

 

To add, I don't think all Lenci's were marked on the feet.

 

Thank you to everyone who replied. The "maybe Lenci" doll is not marked at all--she has attached blue shoes (rather large for her size) that have what seems to be a cardboard brown sole. (Cited from: https://www.antiquers.com/threads/mystery-thrift-shop-dolls.66341/)

 

She really isn't a Lenci................

 

Oh well, she's still very cute!
