Description :

A delightful trio of dolls spanning antique German porcelain to mid-century Americana:

  1. Antique German China Head Doll Dressed in a classic white gown, this porcelain-headed doll features molded black hair and a soft cloth body, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Her serene expression and traditional styling reflect the elegance of German dollmaking. 15" height.  Stand is not original to doll but is included.

  2. Composite Head Doll with Wizard of Oz Print Dress This early-century doll has a composition head and a sawdust-stuffed cloth body. Her dress is printed with whimsical Wizard of Oz character illustrations, adding a rare and playful narrative touch. Likely American-made, she embodies the charm of novelty dolls from the 1920s–30s. 18" height. Wig is separating from head in one location (see picture)

  3. Vintage Sawdust Doll with Felt Body and Plastic Face A mid-century figure with a felt body and molded plastic face, showing some wear to one side. Her expressive features and handmade feel suggest Eastern European or Soviet-era origins. Despite the damage, she retains strong display appeal and nostalgic value. 11" height.  (see pictures for condition)  

Together, these dolls offer a tactile journey through storytelling, craftsmanship, and cultural memory—perfect for collectors of antique toys or those drawn to expressive vintage figures.  Collector value for all of these dolls is approximately $600
