This is another doll my mom had & would love to know anything about him. He has velvet clothing and cap. No marking that I can see. I put him I. The stand but he was not with one. He is about 17 inch long by
About 5 wide.
I am thinking he is a Norah Wellings doll England . He has all her trade marks . Maybe something is missing from him like a accessory. Have to wonder if she traveled the world from her collection ?
She did actually. She never went to normal shopping spots but to places they sold older things.
Thank you for your help.
That explains the dolls from so many different countries . She must have lived a full life :-) And found great treasures on her trips
I am sure this Norah wellings doll just unsure what uniform he is wearing . Her dolls always represented someone or a special event ect . Most common ones found are sailor dolls. Your doll has Epaulettes on his suit and my represent a Military person or a guard ?
Thank you Manikin. I looked Norah Welling up & clearly see why you feel it’s one of hers. Thanks again. How did you learn so much about dolls?
I just got these dolls & a lot of others & a garage full of all kinds of things old that I’m having to research before I even think about tossing. Lots a work.
RM if you go to my profile it tells all about me :-) Just click on my name . Happy to help
Manikin, I took a look and you truly have great experience. I feel honored that you shared your wisdom with me. Thank you so much.
Your very welcome . I love seeing some of these that I have not encountered before also . But sometimes it is all about the craftsmanship that helps ID them too .
I am thinking your doll maybe German made not a Norah . I have seen his face before I just have to figure it out :-)
He has a face that reminds me of a advertising doll
Manikin, I’m cracking up because I can see this could keep you up at night. LOL
I see your passion and desire to solve the mystery. Some how I to feel like it could be advertising for some reason. The flare on side of pants looks similar to the sailor one of Norah Wellings work.
He reminds me of the Philip Morris cigarette man :-)
Manikin, you are sooo right. He does look a bit like the
Morris man. Colors don’t seem correct but in general, close. I see it’s keeping your mind going. I hope your not sorry you ever saw him. LOL :-)
He might be the guy that finally pushes me over the edge LOL
Manikin,
I figured that. LOL
I do not know anything about the doll ,but I think ,I may have seen ,something like this walking around ,late at night ,in my room
Vynil33rpm,
Now that’s funny lol
Possibly a Sterling Doll Company doll
Wow Manikin, you are amazing. I looked up & see why
You would say that. But seems like those ones have marks on back of neck. This one does not as far as I can see. I will double check. Thank you for not giving up.
