Hi your dolls are not that old . They are more contemporary Collectible Porcelain dolls not meant to be toys .Except last one which is made of vinyl . I would date them from 1980-1990's . The Vinyl one late 1960 to 1970's . They should be marked on back of neck by maker . The Porcelain one's were a craze in 80' and 90's and not sold as toys . They were mass produced and were often kept in box because people hoped they would be worth more and were never removed from box. This did not happen . They have fallen in price and doll market for them also has dropped and value went way down , A few famous doll artist one of a kind held up in price but they too have dropped but not as much . The vinyl doll does not sell for much today either . Sorry to be bearer of bad news but you asked and I can tell you I have seen hundred of hundreds of these types of dolls that sell for 10-25 dollars . Look for names of what company made them . Many of these dolls sold on home shopping shows HSN and QVC . So she may have ordered them . Tell me name on boxes ok , Most of these dolls were marketed to older woman and they were in love with them , Some were not cheap new . But Supply and demand sets price and market is flooded with these types of porcelain dolls , and like yours mint in boxes. Many were made in China or Tawain . Companies had them made there and shipped back to US with their Comapny name on box .
They were made by a company called Effanbee and dated on the necks so I think you need to check your facts. They are dated 1960-65'. No bad news I appreciate the thoughts.
