I have had this doll for a while, not sure where she came from. I cannot read or understand the markings on her. She is 19 inches tall, porcelain forearms, hands, bottom of legs, bust. Her bustle on the back of her dress is 24 inches long. Exquisite very soft peach colored satin gown. Please help me find out anything I can about her. Thanks

I believe she is Elizabeth's 1900s Wedding Dress Doll" from Ashton-Drake Porcelain Vintage. The artist is Paul Tummino or Tummina, can't remember which. Someone is asking $50 for her on ebay. If she sells that will be the current value.
I agree with PGHgirl's ID as she appears to be from the series called 'From This Day Forward'. I'm not sure how many dolls were in this series.
For sale dolls listed on eBay alone:

You can always check out eBay's sold listings to find an approximate value for your doll. eBay's sold listings show dolls like yours and similar dolls that have sold over the past several months.
The problem with this information is you have no way to tell how long any doll was listed for sale before it sold. Most dolls are very slow sellers and can be listed for sale for months to years.
