This family was in japan in the early 1900s I wanna say 20-30 if that helps. I do also know they traveled a lot so they could have gone other times that I dont know about. I do know for sure it was not made this cannot be post 1970

you can easily tell just by looking at the fabric!!! Im not dumb. look at the fabric in the ebay link the other user listed, and look at it in the picture I took. plus look at how the face was applied. if you cant tell the age difference just by looking at the two then please dont bother trying to help. did you even look at the link im referencing??? I dont care what china can do, the two are completely different in era!!

I think we were looking at the same site. I noticed in that photo I couldn't see the paragraph written above the word Jesus (bottom left) or the paragraph above World(bottom right) Other than those two websites I couldn't find photos of others or sales of others. Hopefully someone might have more informarion.
The only other page I found was  http://www.worldcat.org/title/unjust-sentence-of-the-jews-against-jesus-christ-the-savior-of-the-world/oclc/489195283

I found two websites that offer very little information about this piece of art. Does Anyone know where it came from? How many exist? whats it worth? I know its in very rough shape but you can still see all the images and all text.

This one is significantly older than the one in the link. age plays a great role in value. Her is a close up of this doll. Some have gone for hundreds, some for thousands. newer dolls are worthless. I dont know when this doll dates

They are hard to research when you know nothing about them. most of them dont have text on the. I do know about the doll with the black and white woman in one. Its called a topy-turvy doll "African American slave women may have given dolls like these to their daughters as a preparation for a possibility of a life devoted to nurturing two babies: one black and one white. Topsy-turvy dolls are designed for children to play with one baby at a time, and this accurately reflects the division of caregiving that African American women encountered, having to care for white children during the day and their own children at night. These handmade dolls are important, creative expressions of those otherwise silent women we know only as "mammy." -WIKIPEDIA

I have recently inherited a house FULL of antiques. Some stuff I would say a majority of these are 40s-60s but also have items from the late 1800s to early 1900's I need a lot of help finding the monetary value, and I am also very interested in what they are and where they are from. I have a good idea about most of these things but Ill start with dolls. Before I do, please let me know what your interests are because I have some of EVERYTHING! (well almost everything, I'm sure I don't have everything but i do have a lot)
