I don't have any information on this doll or these miniature clutch purses.

The dress and accessories look handmade. The doll looks like it was made from a kit. They may have sentimental value, but I dont think they are expensive.
She is interesting! Cute!
Identifying her may be a challenge because even through there is a number on her back (I cannot see what is next to the 620), there were a lot of companies in the 1980s and 1990s who used true antique doll marks and used them to make reproduction dolls.
For example, there is a German doll company called Bahr and Proschild who used just a mold number of 620 in dolls made in the late 1800s.
This doll does not feel like it is that doll...or if it is, it has been repaired as I believe the original were wired together and yours has rope.
The hair also does not look like 1800's hair, which was usually mohair or real human hair--but I would not be able to confirm that with out seeing and touching it.
This is a link about the doll maker.

Can you please tell/show me:
1. What it reads next to the number
2. How tall she is
3. Post a photo of the body without the dress on it (front and back)
The dress looks hand made (probably crochet) and is very sweet. It looks like it is from the 1950s, but that could just be the style.
In some cases, I have found doll clothing is often worth more than the doll...but it will take a little more digging to confirm who you have before we can talk values.
If you prefer one stop shopping, vs. posting back with more info, I understand that! Here is a list of doll museums and if one is near you, you could try taking her there to get confirmation of who you have:

The little mesh purse is interesting. It may have some value. Does it have any markings on it? I would ask the doll museum people to look at it also.
Some of these little purses are quite valuable since the mesh was so fragile and rarely survived being played with.
The green purse is a mystery and looks newer, but I would need to see more photos of the inside and a close up of the clasp.
Post back with more info or what you learn from one of the world's doll gurus!
Thanks for sharing!
The purses are very cute! I hope someone from the doll museums can help you identify them.
I didn't notice they both have kiss style clasps (the green one is traditional and the mesh one is a non-traditional).
Post back what you learn!
Shannon S,
That's really interesting (the tiny gold colored mesh clutch), I have ONE myself, exactly like yours. It was surprising to see yours pictured here. I wish I could remember where I got it, and when, but I don't, I'm sorry. Maybe we can hunt it down on the internet and learn more about them.

Okay, I clicked for "Cortana" to find this, and here's (so far) what I've found.

Here's another link. I'm thinking (which I really don't *know* for sure) but just seeing a few (that are *similar*) they might be worth around 50 bucks :)
I've had mine since the 80's, and I wish I could remember where I even got it from. In reading a tad this morn about "the miniature gold mesh purses/clutches", they seem to be from the 60's.
