<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grateful, post: 1596886, member: 11100&quot;]Since we don&#039;t have a doll thread, I&#039;m using this spot for my inquiry.&nbsp; Without dragging out details, this doll belonged to the mother of a very dear friend (my friend died at the age of 90 in 2000.)&nbsp; When I was cleaning out her attic to move her into assisted living, I found this.&nbsp; It was totally thread bare - literally just about nothing but the perfect condition china (if that is the correct term.)&nbsp; When I asked her about it, she said it was her mother&#039;s childhood doll and her mother never let her play with it when she herself was a child.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, for her 90th birthday gift I sent it off to a doll restoration place in Wichita.&nbsp; When the woman received it she wanted to know what color dress I preferred, and was going to try to keep it period correct.&nbsp; Then she asked &quot;do you know what you have here?&quot;&nbsp; Me?&nbsp; Of course not.&nbsp; She went on about how rare the combination of hair &amp; eye color was.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve taken her out of her moving box and took some pictures before giving her a proper home today.&nbsp; Sweetest part of the story is that my friend slept with the doll the five days she lived into her 90&#039;s.&nbsp; She finally got to &quot;play&quot; with the doll.&nbsp; So, I know this must truly be an antique, but looking for someone knowledgeable in dolls to see if I can gather any more info.&nbsp; No markings/identifiers whatsoever. Thank you, in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231914[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231915[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231916[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231917[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231918[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231919[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]231920[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
