Found these old dolls at a local estate, they have an early look to them. The one is made with chestnuts, it appears. Can anyone help ID or date?

Good Luck! :^)
Maybe these Native American Indian Dolls are closer to yours BHock, than the Skookum, but most were made in the early first half of the 1900's:

Thanks everyone for helping out!
Navajo Folk Art handmade Dolls date 1950-70s for tourists .
Not Skookum Dolls and have little value . The Nut head doll appears to be a Pecan is a folk art doll likely from south in USA they are still making them today . he does not appear to have much age .
