Wow Love the antique doll.- My mother was born in 1918, so I actually felt emotional seeing that date. She lived to be 90 and had a more modern porcelain doll in her bedroom for many years. (Yes, I am old- born in 1939 and still loving dolls and dolls' houses.) Today, ten of my tiny dolls arrived after being restrung by a talented woman close to my age. I love your 'doll sleuthing"!

Love learning about all the dolls you find.

Daphne is a boudoir doll. I adore her! I have patterns and a collection of composition boudoir dolls.

Great dolls! Thanks, Kathleen

Lovely video thank you for sharing ❤😊

Hi Dot! All the dolls are so charming 🤩 Love the eyes of the boudoir doll. She’s very sassy. The painted face of the German China Doll is so sweet. What a find! 😍

I’m always interested in the aging of dolls, antiques vs reproductions. Good video 😃

Great doll 👌

That writing is so interesting, and makes it so personal! I like the dress on the rag doll. I think it's very pretty. ❤

Plus, I imagine that the second face would have been a iron on transfer that went with the pattern. She would have been made from a pattern which are still available as well as costume patterns.

Hi Dot that was great! I really loved seeing your china dolls close up. The boots on the real antique doll are so pretty. They could be old replacements. The originals might have been more crude looking. I would definitely keep them on her because the doll and those boots have probably been together a long time. You mentioned the one reproduction doll had her legs stitched together and wow that is pretty weird. I have never seen that before. I don't know the purpose unless that was their way of keeping the china feet from clanking together and chipping. A better way to achieve that purpose is to use a small old wooden thread spool and push a rubber band through the hole so that each leg can be slipped through each loop of elastic poking out the holes on the ends if that makes sense. If you have small stringing elastic that can work too and probably would be easier to thread through the holes in the spool, then tie a knot after you have both ends of elastic through and the legs secure. That was sweet of you to mention my name. You didn't have to do that. I am happy to assist you with any further such purchases. I love china dolls too as you know. Just now getting things back to normal after our cruise and could settle down and watch this video. How tall is the antique doll????? I might have a simple dress pattern that would fit her.

wow, what treasures!!!!

Oh my God my real name, the first one. Her eyes look funny. Very interesting to find these types of dolls, so fun.

I wasn’t a fan of dolls either, but I did like paper dolls. I would spend hours cutting up the Sears catalog….but I cut out the furniture and set up houses for them. All the dolls are nice finds. I would like to find some of the dolls that were printed on flour sacks. They were cut out and stitched and stuffed.

Awsome Haul!

Can I suggest you look into a lady who inherited her mother’s doll store. She’s from the USA, her name is Rachel Hoffman. She and her staff are very knowledgeable in these types of dolls.

Love this channel!

Hello, The arm and legs on the 1918 doll look to be in proportion to the size of the head , they could very well be the original one's, they often don't match exactly in colour as they will have been made at different times, the fabric looks like it has been damp at some point and has mildew stains, it could have been stored away for years and older houses were often damp. some antique dolls have very long arms coming down past their knees, I know nothing about ragdolls other than they were mostly home made. Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧

She looks like a handmade Boudoir doll.

The 1918 doll has a beautiful face. Maybe someday you can find some antique arms for Margie that are the appropriate size.❤

I am a knitter. I wash every kind of wool like her hair. I use special wool wash . Rinse and squeeze out in a towel . Lay flat to dry. I would wash all of her with this special non rinse soap.

I am so excited to find your channel! New subscriber😊. I was so excited to see your new antique China head doll. I recently found one at a thrift store and her head looks identical to yours! I am just editing my video now to show how I fixed her up. I am really loving learning about antique dolls. Thanks for showing the differences between antique and reproduction. 😃

I think Daphne was completely hand-made. She's a boudoir doll, which were always large to sit on ones bed. Not really playthings.❤

DON'T WASH HER, I LOVE HER. SHE'S BEEN WELL LOVED. GOOD BUY FO 50 CENT
