I have two dolls I was given around the time of my birth in 1993. I don't want to open the boxes :/

These are mass-produced dolls that sell for less than $10 sometimes on eBay.
These dolls are hard to identify because they are produced in mass quantities. I would leave them in the boxes and take good care of them. Right now these dolls do not have a very high resale value.
I am not sure what you mean by identify. The outside of the boxes have all the info you need if you are trying to buy additional ones or sell these.
If you are looking for the doll's name (like Jane or Mary), it is important to know that many dolls like this do not have a names because the company wanted the new owner to name them.
Quite frankly, opening the boxes is not going to affect your resale value in any way, if that is what you are asking. You might find a "name" on the certificate of authenticity--you may not. But you will have everything you need to research the doll just from the box itself which gives the brand.
Sellers list these on eBay just by the brand, sometimes the hair color, sometimes the dress color. Sometimes just "porcelain doll".
Sadly the makers of these dolls back in the early 1990s ruined the resale value of these lovely dolls....they falsely gave buyers hope that they were purchasing valuable collectors items that they could some day retire on the proceeds if they sold. They made too many and now the supply is almost 10 times the demand--with literally millions of like dolls being offered for sale at any given moment.
I am happy to offer you some tips and hints if you are trying to resell. Just post back! Thanks for asking!
