Dear Gwenda:
Your doll is a Florodora, made in Germany from 1901 until 1909, possibly some a little later but most were made during this time. Based on what yours looks like, I would say it is an earlier doll. Value varies depending on size and condition. Your doll looks to be in excellent condition. Go to eBay, click on sell and type in Florodora. You will find an average. Try Floradora - a common misspelling. Try completed listings to compare size and condition. Off the top of my head, $150 but it could be much less or a little more. Original clothing makes her more valuable. Your doll's clothing does not look original. An original mohair wig or original real hair wig would also improve its value. Your wig does not look to be original, nor a like replacement. However, some people like the newer wigs with lots of hair and curls.
