My much second older cousin Willard collected antique dolls.
I remember visiting her house and being jealous of the beautiful dolls in their glass cases.
I brought my American Girl dolls to show her. She said she might think about getting one, but I am not sure if she ever did or not.
Which is to say that I was thrilled to find this low brow china headed doll at an antique store for $45.
There are a lot of reproduction antique dolls out there. I am reasonable certain that this doll is an antique. I am not so sure about her dress. The fabrics look modern.
I love her pink boots!
My grandma said that she "had a little china head doll that she loved."
I wish I had asked her more questions about her childhood doll, but I always imagined it being one of these dolls. They were produced until 1940, so it is certainly possible.
She's pretty, like my china girl. The old outfits get really fragile as time passes, so your girl is likely redressed, but she's still great.
