These are a few I have collected. The one on the right was said to be from the 1800's and the body got messed up being garage stored from heat, I was told. The head was fine for the age aside the two cracks.

You will have to undress the doll and look for manufacturers marks all over the body, including the scalp. Without seeing marks it will be hard to identify.
If you believe the first doll to be that old then you will need someone experienced with antique dolls to help you identify her.
The second doll looks like a more modern doll but you need to looks for marks on the back of her neck. We will need pictures of any information showing names or numbers.
You can post your question on the doll forum site but they will want more pictures and more information - same as listed above.

She looks like an Ashley Drake doll to me but no way to check this without more information
Perhaps another member, PGHgirl, will be able to provide more.
I would need a lot more info to help. How tall are they?
What are they made out of?
What are they stuffed with?
Is the wig on the top one human hair or mohair?
Can you show the one sitting on something--what she is sitting on?
Can you show photos of them undressed (if the clothes come off)?
The bottom one looks like a reborn toddler--however, I am doubtful she came with whatever she is sitting on or it is broken--because it does not look like a hobby horse or a bike--which is the two things that those leg splays and hand would be normally found with.
The top one looks more like a 1920s-1950s doll--just on look, but if she is stuffed with straw or sawdust she could be older than that.
There is a Facebook site I use when I have mystery dolls--called Identifying Your Mystery Dolls. They may be able to help also, but they are going to ask all the same questions I am asking.
Post back what you learn or with more info!
Thanks!
these dolls are not in great condition but they might still be worth something. Especially if antique. dollreference.com is a good site
Could you please look for manufacturer marks on your dolls? Maker's marks can be placed on the back of the head or neck, or between the shoulder blades, or on the bottom of the feet, or on the doll's clothing tags, or on the back of the head under her hair. It can be letters, numbers, letters and numbers, a name, a word, or any combination of these elements. Any mark can help identify your dolls.
Check if your first doll's head and body look or looked the same. Are they made of the same material?
