: Hi, Nancy, Those are great pictures, but I'm afraid it's tough to identify her from them. Lots of compo dolls from the 1920s to the 1940s were unmarked, so it is difficult. It appears that she has tin eyes. The wig looks like mohair, but you said it feels more like yarn. During WWII, many doll wigs were made of yarn instead of mohair. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help -- good luck!
:Thanks Marilyn,
Was there a certain company in that era that did international dolls?The dress looks Spanish to me.Also I do beleive you are right about the hair ,it is mohair,and not yarn.Yes the eyes are tin, so does that help to date this doll.Sorry for so many questions.Nancy
