Finding Information About a Doll?

A doll with long red curly hair.I bought this many years ago for my daughter and I'm trying to find another one. I don't remember anything about it, and I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me out.

Sorry, but without more information, it's almost impossible to identify this doll. Try to look for at least some marks on the doll or her clothes. It can be letters, numbers, letters and numbers, a name, a word, or any combination of these elements. Maker's marks can be placed on the back of the head or neck, or between the shoulder blades, or on the bottom of the feet, or on the doll's clothing tags, or on the back of the head under her hair.

Your doll has interesting facial expressions. Since I doubt very much that you will be able to find exactly the same doll, so try to look for at least a similar one. I found similar facial expressions on Horsman dolls, for example this one: www.worthpoint.com/.../vintage-horsman-babydoll-chubby-doll...

I would undress the doll and look for markings on the back of the neck, back, chest and bottom of feet. It will be much easier if you know who manufactured the doll

What year was she purchased? Was she purchased from a retail store or from a tag sale or flea market? How tall is she?

Is her head porcelain or bisque? Is her hair real or synthetic?

Are her clothes machine made or hand made?

I hesitate to guess without more info. Hopefully with more info, I can offer some direction on finding another one.

It was bought in 1994 at a department store. It was damaged in storage so we no longer have it.

Take your question to social media , where there are hundreds to thousands of people are reached. Someone out there knows, or has this same doll , along with information needed to check on the location of another.

Since you no longer have the doll, it will be a small miracle if someone can identify it.
I would suggest you post your question on several doll forums and see if these members can help you. They have identified several dolls for me in the past when I was still collecting so I know there are some very knowledgeable members and they really seem to want to help.

You can post your picture and the year but also try to remember anything you can about the doll.
You will need as much information as you can remember;
Did her face feel smooth (almost shiny) - porcelain.
Or feel slightly 'rough' and not shiny - bisque
Contents of body - soft covered in material / hard /
shoes?
Approximate measurement - imagine holding her and guess at inches.

This information will be a big help in identifying your doll.

Be sure state at the very beginning that you no longer have the doll and this picture is all you have so they will understand that you cannot undress her.
