   Try thrift stores
   Your local goodwill or Buffalo Exchange is a good choice

   I just found your blog thru Sharon's blog: “In A Minute Ago”. I love your stitching! I have started making barbie clothes and quilts. I cross stitch and do all sorts of crafts. I have even started collecting vintage doll clothing patterns. Your site is wonderful. I added you to my blogroll so I can check back often.

   Totally disagree. The twin fawn portrait was photographed by someone else. And her wax sculptures were castings of vintage doll heads and toy ponies, someone else’s work too. Clever use of found objects, but hardly compares to the skill and artistry of Abdi.

    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

    When I was about 9 or 10 I counted all my dolls and stuffed animals and I had about 100! But each one was special to me – I could tell you its name, and the story of how I got it.
    I'm sure I had more than the "average girl", but I don't think eight dolls is too many, if she plays with all of them.
