I am just wanting to know any info on these dolls if anyone has any. Some are old sewn cloth dolls and a variety of others. Era, value? Any info would be appreciated. Been having these in a chest for over 7 years.

Some of them look quite old. You will have to undress the dolls to look for identifying markings. You can find them on the back of the neck, back, chest and bottoms of feet.
What a lovely mix of dolls you have going on there! It looks like a mix of 1940s-1970s dolls...some of which may be handmade.
With this many dolls you would be best served taking them to someone deals in dolls and can accurately see what you have and their condition and give you values in today's market where you live.
For example, the first doll on the bottom shelf looks old, but there are dolls that were reproduced to look just like that in the 1990s and in some cases even the experts have to do a lot of digging to tell the difference between the original and the repro doll.
The red/orange haired gal on the right looks like a Little Orphan Annie doll but without an up close look it is hard to tell if she is a real store bought doll or a home made doll.
The headless doll looks like it may have been a touristy doll from Russia.
I will be curious to hear what you learn when you talk to an expert. I hope you have some with value, but I don't want you to get your hopes up because in general the doll market is very soft. Although this lot could surprise me and you could have a few ringers in there (meaning higher value dolls).
Please post back with an update.
