Unfortunately without marks, it will be hard to ID her because several companies made very similar dolls. There were a bunch made by Ashley Belle and Seymour Mann, just to name two.

Most have the porcelain heads, arms, and legs (hands curved under, feet turned out) and soft bodies.

I don't know how much they are asking for yours, but since this is a buyers market, you may be able to get a good price on her.

Similar (not exact, but very close like dolls are selling--SOLD prices) for as low as 3.33.

Now if the seller is asking in the $20s, that would be an insult that low, but I would start low (maybe 5-6 and work my way to a happy medium).

It really is a BUYERS market these days!

PS...do be aware shipping costs are going to be crazy high so if there are multiple of the same doll listed and they are different sellers, pick the one that has the best feedback and is the closest to you so the shipping will be less.

With the new DIM (dimensional shipping--if you are in the US) the shipping cost could be 3 times the value of the doll.

Also, look for the buyer name and city on each add as if you are seeing multiples my feeling is the seller is probably cross posting. If they have different prices--pick the one that is the least and go from there!

The doll may have markings. You may have to undress the doll to do this. Since you do not have the doll in your possession, you are taking a gamble by buying it, not knowing what it is.

Before buying a doll online it is advised to contact the seller to ask her about this doll. There are many sellers who sell off mass-produced dolls. If you like the doll and the price is reasonable then you should buy her.

If you are a collector it is advised to contact the seller to find out more about the doll and have them send you photos of the marking so you can identify the doll easier.
