      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 .

      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 .

      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.

      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.

      Anita Ellen Hawkins. She was a pioneer Airline hostess, and she collected dolls as she flew around the world.
