[QUOTE="judy, post: 99948, member: 965"]Hi Pat! The clothes look to be made of cotton, a desired cloth amongst doll collectors of that era. The clothes on your doll would look great on a 40's or early 50's composition doll. I have been collecting dolls for probably 30 years. I have one of this and two of that. Some are in the closet....not being my favorite ones, for many different reasons. Perhaps they are only parts dolls, or later dolls that I picked up because of their collectibility. Truth be known, the desirability of dolls has gone the way of many collectibles. I thought my kids would reap dollars when the time came. Now, they would have a problem getting a buyer(s). I always bought dolls very reasonably, so there is not money loss for what I could get for them now. Supply and demand means a lot. There are some that will always be desired, just like any other collectible. I don't think snaps have changed much over the years. I haven't bought any recently tho.[/QUOTE]
