Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll - doll wearing a lace and satin dress and matching hatI finally cleaned my attic and I found this lovely old girl. The issue is there is no branding or numbers of any kind. I looked all over. I know that she's old, but I wanna sell her. Any ideas as to value?

If you can't find any type of marks on the doll and you have checked the back of the neck, the back of the doll and the feet this is more than likely an old dime store doll they sold in the 50s or 60s. Dolls like this are selling online for around $5 to $15.

Thanks for sharing!

Can you provide any other info?

Did you purchase her or did she come with the house? If you bought her, do you know the approximate year?

If the latter, what year did you buy the house?

How tall is she?

What is her hair made from (real hair, mohair or synthetic)? Is it rooted or a wig?

How is her head attached to her body?

The dress looks very 1980s, can you confirm the fabric--it looks like a shiny synthetic? Can you tell if it was hand stitched or if it was machine stitched?

Maybe with a little more info I can help.

Thanks for sharing!

Undress the doll to make sure there are no identifying marks. If there arent any, it is probably an inexpensive, although attractive doll.
