Mystery Doll From My Childhood?

An old doll with no clothing.I would love to find out more about this doll and her value. She always terrified me as a child. My dad gave her to me. I do not remember any clothing on the doll. He emigrated from Poland after WW2. He also spent time in Austria and Germany. It is very likely the doll is from Europe. There as no markings and it is about 12 inches long. Fabric is in good condition and body is stuffed.

She looks like a 1930's depression era German made doll. These dolls were made out fabric and paper Mache , this was a way to make dolls for consumers for a low value in the depression .

I spent some time at some point looking at these German dolls on dollreference.com but the site mostly discusses logos, not faces dollreference.com/german-antique-doll-makers-and-marks... - as well I never saw a doll face like the one you post

what I would do is go to the site, research the different brands and dolls at the time, and compare the faces.

Well, after seeing your doll, it is easy to understand why she terrified you.
Strange, the shape of her face resembles the old dolls that had heads/faces made of paper mache.

You have some very good pictures so I think someone on the doll forums will be able to help you. Just remember, most of these sites may not post your question if you ask about value so just ask for information and try to find value after you receive information.

You will have to join each site but I would suggest you ask on several so you can obtain as much information as possible.
Start with this one please:
www.tapatalk.com/.../

These are good so try both sites:
www.facebook.com/.../

Please let us know what you find out and someone will try to help you find value.
