41 Strange

According to my wife, the doll had been in her dad's family when she was a kid. She was born in 68 and it had been in their family for a couple of decades. But she could have been told incorrectly. I'll ask her father.

Her face looks like relatively soft plastic. In the 20s & 30s, the plastic was hard and not at all flexible. Are there markings on the back of the neck or back? There should be some identifying marks. The thing that gives it away is her size also. That size was a big 60s thing.

The plastic is hard from top to bottom. and the only opposability parts are the neck and legs (to sit). There aren't any markings anywhere on the doll's body and the clothes are glued waist down (shirt isn't).

Ah interesting. The head looks vinyl from the photo, but you feel that it’s a hard plastic with no give? That hair is called rooted hair and is sewn in from underneath when the doll was built. Older dolls had a glued on wig. The glued-on clothes is odd. It’s a mystery!
