porcelin doll head with moving eyes
« on: June 11, 2012, 07:13:21 pm »
This doll head is really unusual. Well the eyes are unusual the way the move. Would it be from the 40's?

It appears that you probably have a "hard plastic" head from the 1950's.

I couldn't tell it's delicate. It seems like it would break like porcelin. Thanks. My daughter says it reminds her of Chucky. She wants to use it as a profile picture! ;D

It might be composition. Is it kind of like paper mache?

Similar to Besty Wetsy, Hair is different in the back, and there are no markings on mind. Maybe early Besty Westy.
