Hello,
Your doll could be "Johnny Tu-Face" by Effanbee, made in 1912. There is another possibility that escapes me right now; something like "Suzie Smiles" or a similar name, I need to check on this. Regardless, the time period is the same.

: Hi there,

: This is my first attempt to identify this doll. She was my great grandmother's when she was a child. It is now my mothers, and someday will be probably be mine. We know very little about her. I would rate her condition as fair to good, considering her age.

: I would appreciate any information that anyone can provide. If you do not know, but could possibly point me in the right direction, that would be appreciate also. In addition, is there anywhere else like that that I can post her information and seek help. Thank you very much in advance.

: Here is what little I do know about here:
: Probably made in the 1890's
: 17" Tall
: Two faces--smiling and crying
: Bisque Head and hands
: Painted hair
: Sleep eyes on the smiling side
: Molded ears
: Cloth body
: Some kind of voice or sound box
: Original clothes
: I can not find any mold markings or markings of any kind.

: That is all I got. Anything that anyone can add would be much appreciated. Feel free to reply here or email me.

: Thanks
