You need to undress this doll to look for markings. It can be on the neck, back or chest. Once you have some markings you can go to www.dollreference.com to start your research.

Only markings are on the back it says made in japan. Then one the front across the chest area looks like 42 is wrote with a pencil

I'm not finding anything from reverse searching it. Look for engravings or model numbers on the body part.

Take a magnifying glass. Check the doll over for markings and any numbers. Check clothing labels it might say who made it.

Some dolls have a mold number then check it in a doll reference book to find out who the manufacture is.

Looks like one of the small dolls that were popular in the 80's and may have some type of markings on the back of head or neck, but probably not.

  • It will take a doll identification "expert" to help you with information about this doll unless or even if, you find markings.
  • There are several sites that may be able to help you but you will have to give more information.
  • You will need more photos, especially photos of back of head and full figure photos like laying on a table and not in your hand, showing shoes/feet and clothes. One photo of doll without clothing is usually requested.

  • You will also need measurements - mainly length of doll.
  • Also, complete description of make-up of doll - all porcelain or part porcelain and balance fabric/filling.

There are several free appraisal site (Google free doll appraisals) so you might need to contact more than one.

eBay has a member that does appraisals but she charges $4.00 - but usually money well spent.
