    This was my mother's Dolly when she was a little girl. My mother's family was very poor and it was bought for her at a second hand store as they could not afford a new doll for her. My mother recently passed at 85 so I have always estimated the doll to be nearly 100 years old. When they bought the doll for her, she did not have a dress so my grandmother made the dress. I am a little stumped on my research as to its age and other details. It is German and made by Floradora. I cannot find information on the rest of the marks. It looks like 1.8/0, but I have not found any references to the numeric mark. I am mainly curious about how old it is. Any help would be appreciated.

      She is made by Armand Marseille co. Germany . She is rather common to find and has a pretty dolly face. Dates appx 1900-1920. She is made of bisque . She is a lovely small size doll to display . A treasure that it was your grandmothers :-)
