1894 AM 1 dep is printed under wig. I believe the eyes are glass and she has 4 teeth. She was found in the trash with no clothes only shoes. Her hair is in good condition considering ho old it is. Not sure what her body is made of possibly porcelain and wood?
She is a Armand Marseille doll mold 1894 made in Germany . Her body is composition ( Thick of sawdust all made wet with glue and poured into a mold and dried) Armand was a major producer of Bisque dolls during the era so his dolls appear quite often . They were more affordable to many families also . Dates very late 1800's into 1930's . Her head is made of Bisque and it looks like she may have her original mohair wig. Very nice :-)
PS I am glad you rescued her !
I'm not sure if this is ok to ask but what would you say the worth of her would be roughly. If it's not ok never mind.
We don't do appraisals on this site but our other half does at https://www.valuemystuff.com/us/appraisal. There is a link at top of page for appraisal.
I would suggest you go to like ebay and put in Armand Marseille 1894 doll and look at completed sales . Make sure she has no breaks or hairline cracks in head . She will sell for less since no clothes also .Welcome to CW :-)
