Year and Brand of This Doll?

A porcelain doll with blonde hair. Hi! This doll is missing a hand and I want to find a replacement but I am running into some obstacles trying to find out the origin and age of this doll. Her face and hands are porcelain. Body is cloth.

There is YCS stamped on the neck and the tag on the dress says Wholesale Merchandiser, Inc. I am not sure the dress is original to the doll though.

The marking on the back of a doll's neck.

I found a Porcelain 16" YCS Sweetheart Doll Robyn Blonde Hair Blue Eyes Red Ribbons wTag www.ebay.com/.../254552319737. Here you can see this doll in full www.picclickimg.com/.../Porcelain-16%E2%80%9D-YCS-Sweetheart... This doll's hands are very similar to your doll's. The label says Sweetheart and the doll's name. It was sold for $12.95.

I found Porcelain Collector Doll from Sweetheart Collection Doll's Name is BETH www.ebay.com/.../352724724953 There is a photo of the box, where you can see the name of the company that made this doll: Cardinal Inc. The doll was made in Taiwan in 1988. The price is $19.99.

I found another YCS 16" Porcelain Doll w Stand (one shoe is missing the bottom platform) www.ebay.com/.../322690262061?_ul=IL, YCS is written on the back of the neck, like your doll. This doll has no label and original box, so the seller could not identify this doll. The price is $29.99. But judging by the shoes she is from Dynasty Doll Collection by Cardinal Inc. like this doll SALLY Dynasty Doll collection www.ebay.com/.../254622314631, the price is $12.99 and this Dynasty Doll Collection Cardinal Inc. Porcelain Girl in Pink Dress ** READ ** (in good condition) www.ebay.co.uk/.../362277203199, the price is $21.32.

The prices for dolls from Sweetheart Porcelain Collector Doll by Cardinal Inc range from $5 www.ebay.com/.../124512164887 to $48.50 www.etsy.com/.../prairie-sweetheart-doll.

If your doll has lace-up shoes and is 16", then you have Sweetheart Porcelain Collector Doll by Cardinal Inc, Porcelain Bisque Parts with soft body 1980s. Unfortunately, since you do not have a label and original box, the name will most likely be impossible to find out. The clothes were most likely sewn by a different company.

If your doll has shoes like this doll www.ebay.com/.../322690262061?_ul=IL and is 16", then most likely you have Dynasty Doll Collection by Cardinal Inc.
Your doll has a broken arm, so the price is very low at the moment.

The asking price for this YCS doll is $29.99. I think the repair on this doll will be more than it is worth.
