6" composition doll

Hi, I'm pretty sure that I have the same doll featured on you homepage. She is about 6 3/8" and seems to be wearing rubber boots. In 1971, I bought a collection of old dolls among other items from a relative of the Vanderbilt family on Long Island. My thinking was that some day I may have a little girl (after a bunch of Boys, we gave up).
I collect all sorts of antiques, but dolls are not on the list, however all antiques interest me and I wondered if you might shed some light on this one.
The other dolls appear to be bisque or some type of ceramic (almost looks like china?).
Many of the flexible connectors have failed and some arms are no longer attached, but I have them.
Unlike the composition doll, these include dresses...some look to have been elaborate.
Thank you in advance,
Ger
