Re: Antique Doll
Your doll was made by the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company. The material used to make the head, arms and legs is called composition. It dates to the 1930's and looks very much like a doll called Baby Beautiful. although a slightly larger version. From what I can see in your photos it is in very good condition. If there are no large cracks or broken toes or fingers, my 20 years of experience would price him to be around $200.00. Keep him in a controled environment with even temperatures to prevent further deterioration. Water is not his friend. Hope this helps with the family heirloom.
