I am hoping someone can tell me a little about this beautiful gal. I purchased her at an estate sale in Nashville TN. She is 30 inches tall and seems to be stuffed with straw. And her hair seems like it may be real human hair? There are no inscriptions or identifiers on her anywhere. I would love to be able to find out how old she is, region she came from and perhaps her maker. Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
She is a German Paper Mache doll with glass eyes . Here is one similar but seller says French it is not French but German . Many companies made these type and do not mark them so it would be a guess which company made her . Dates late 1800's-early 1900's . It was advertised as washable paper mache but I would not wash her face with water .
