    My mother kept this for as long as I can remember. She always said it was a German Bisque doll. I have no other info on it. The number is #370.

      She is a Armand Marseille German made Bisque doll. It is a very common one to find as they were made over a long period of time . Her mold is 370 . She has a kid leather body and is called a shoulder head doll as she has shoulders . The 390 mold they made was a socket head it fit into a fully jointed composition body . She dates around 1920 give or take a few years .

      What would her value be?
    3. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      How allis she ? The market is flooded with this mold doll and her value has gone way done in last 5 years . Collectors prefer old vintage clothes not newer like on your doll. Providing she has no cracks or chips in her they are selling from 45-80 depending on size . She is better to be kept as family heirloom than sold :-)
      This is a very tall doll 27 inches so priced at top of market in newer clothes as a example for you . Your doll looks like she has replaced eyelashes so at some time she had work done to her ?

      Spell correction " How tall is she " is how it should start . My keyboard is sticking bad I think it got to damp when I cleaned it :-(

      I think about 30 inches. One hand is broke on fingers. My mother bought in latte 60s so we have had a long time. My late grandmother made the drsss
    6. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      That is nice size . The fingers broke don't affect her value really the head and shoulders are very affected if damaged and she would decrease in value then . She looks lovely . By newer dress I mean it is not age of doll and made by your Grandmother would make it special to you :-)
