Who made this 5" porcelain doll with round hands and green velvet dress? Or this black haired china doll with leather boots and no markings? And finally the Parian head doll with the purple outfit and marked 136 2/0?

Neat items! I do not think they are old.
I do have a few questions:
1. Does the 5 inch doll have jointed arms and legs? Do the clothes come off or are they glued on? Is her wig glued on or rooted?
2. How tall are the other two? Do the dresses appear to be hand made or machine made. The hair is painted, correct? Are the eye lashes painted or no lashes or "real" lashes. It looks like NO lashes, but I am not positive.
I need more info on all to confirm what you may have.
My thoughts on the two on the left are they are reproduction (kit) dolls from the 1970s or 1980s where they were made in a doll class. These were frequently made to give the illusion of antiques.
The mark is what is tipping me off that it is not an antique.
If you want one stop shopping and don't want to post back more info for me to help ID them, you can put them on the Facebook group: Let's Id our dolls!!!
You have to ask to join and follow their rules. You can post the photos and ask for help to ID. You need to post front, back, markings, clothing, and give all heights. They are a great group. I am still learning about the REAL German dolls and have only recently touched on studying the repros because there are so many. They have people on that site who specialize in the kit dolls.
The smaller doll may be a StoryBook doll, but I need more info to confirm or deny that one. They can tell you that also.
If they can give you the brands or confirm they are kits, I can help you with valuing them. The gals and guys on this site DO NOT like to talk values, but that I can help you on!
Post back with more info or what you learn!
Thank you so much!!! I will join the Facebook group and start there.
