Can you please help me with these dolls. They were passed down to me and I'm trying to identify with respects to how old they are, if they are. Are any of the collectible. I have easy access to them so if you can tell me where to look or ask me any questions regarding them I can let you know. Some are cloth which is the first set of pictures. I love the British dolls which have hard plastic faces and possible legs, not sure. Native American Indian dolls, and I don't know what the last two are.
These are souvenir dolls from many lands... My guess is they are from the 50s-70s. The first ones look like dolls from Jamaica. The next group is obviously England and Scotland. The next two are a Native American and a Maori doll. The last two I'm not sure about... possibly someone else who's an expert can chime in. The one on the left looks like maybe Turkey. Souvenir dolls generally are quite common and not worth too much, but they are fun to collect! I have several in my collection, including 2 large Maori dolls from the '50s.
