this is one of the dolls I have from my Grand mothers collection. She had a doll museum in Van Nyse Ca called Anita's Dolls. I am looking for any information about these dolls. THis one seems to have a body made of leather. If you know where I could start looking I would love the help. Thanks
Is there no information printed on the doll's neck?
I need to see back of head ,she has a french look but likely German Made for French market , That she has a closed mouth makes her more special than a open mouth doll . She is dressed in age appropriate French fashion style clothes . Very Good doll and makers mark will be on back of head .
OMG SHE's BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
How tall is she and is her body all white kid leather ?
Can I get close up on eyebrows they are painted much thinner than normally seen so I have to question her . Always nice to hold it one's hands to tell age .
Can you email me your Grandmothers last name I want to see if I know the name

She's very beautiful! I love the serious look and those thoughtful eyes! I have seen that Facebook before in a doll my grandmother had. Don't know where she got it but she lived in Sweden. I always asumed the doll was european and even from our country. Same kind of eyes and thin eyebrows like that.
I men to write 'I have seen that face' no Facebook here :)
Did you check marks on back of neck ?
This dool was on the cover of the book Anita's Doll Museum published by Sanrio in Japan!

*This Doll... The book was published in 1980.
That's the name the guy who started the thread said belonged to his grandmother. Very cool to have a book about your family's business.
