Just got this doll today. Her head appears to be composition or even paper mache. She's got the remnants of a tag on her back, just below her neck. First few letters are Keen. Her head seems to be the compo/paper mache, her hands feel like a ceramic, and the rest of her body is cloth. And the poor girl is suffering from alopecia, most of her hair has fell out. Also, there appears to be slits above her eyes for eyelashes.
Thanks Bellin68! I wish there was enough of her tag left to find out more about her...even an approximate age. She's in a lot better shape than most of my dolls.
doll maker of boudoir doll I believe is Victor Keney (Keeneye) doll.(KEENEYE W-K-S/INC Victor Keney)
Do you see raised letters above label showing the w-k-s I do
Dates from around 1930-40. She is composition and has held up well compared to some I have seen .
I didn't mention the raised lettering cause I couldn't figure it out. Yet again you amaze me lol. So she is compo?? She feels so weird...like really light.
I found one of the keeneye dolls on ebay. Their's have compo feet! Mine is just cloth. She's unique looking for sure.
