   I tried to look at Zibbet, but all I get are 'internal error' messages. From a cached home page, I see Zibbet includes 'vintage'. Betcha the Zibbet folks know as much about vintage as Etsy does…having well-meaning but clueless staff is like putting out the welcome mat for resellers.

   I do not understand why vintage has to be included? There are so many sites, large and small, for setting up shops to sell vintage and antiques.

   How is Etsy hacks helping to hide resellers? What did I miss???

   Thanks Tera,The accessories are getting a little extravagant a dear friend of mine made me a bird cage veil on a beautiful head piece. I love it, and the vintage/antique jewelry I’m wearing should look good.

   Wear whatever you want! If it's on your left ring finger, people will know what it means.

   My only concern is that citrine and marcasite aren't going to be able to withstand being worn every day without getting scratched. That's one of the reasons people like diamonds or sapphires, b/c they are very durable.

   I have several wedding rings, and I switch them out. The one I wear most often is from QVC and only cost $115. It's an eternity band of several rows of CZs, and it's beautiful – depending on my mood, I'll either tell people it's QVC or I'll just let them assume it's real.

   It’s so true! In person, objects can really change a person’s mind. There have been a lot of things that I’ve changed my mind about when seeing in person for the first time.I didn’t understand my mom’s fascination with jewelry at first. I mostly liked vintage/antique jewelry before. But she really changed my mind about it when I learned more about the craftsmanship behind the pieces. Thanks, Jamie!

   I looked at the pictures and the doll is from the late 40's and she is called a mama doll because of the crier. The head is not celluloid but hard plastic. Hard plastic was first made for dolls starting in 1947 on, before that they were made out of composition.

   I find sometimes people do not remember the exact year they recieved the toys, you have to deal with the type of materails used.

   Lift up the hair on the back of the neck and see if there are any marks, hopefully for you it will say Alexander because then she could be baby genius . The hat is a very typical 40's hat worn by children. THe shoes look original and the dress is a good copy if its not tagged. The way you tell if the dress is what we call factory, look at the way the snaps are sewn on, if they are neatly sewn top to side and bottom to side. It has a very neat look. Some dresses have the machine button holes also used in the 40's. Look for a factory tag on the inside of the dress as well and or at the back.

   Several factories did make these dolls, Ideal, Horseman, American Character, Effanbee too. If I Can be of more help let me know, thanks

   I went and looked in my American Character book and look to see if shes marked American Character if so she will be Baby Sue
