Re: Antique Doll
Hello!
Did your great aunt have any connection to Norway? I haven't been able to find your specific doll yet, but by all accounts it seems to be a "Bunad Doll". (Bunad is the national costume of Norway, and comes in many variations depending on county/area)
Here is a photo of such a doll: https://images4-b.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Knittingfordolls/401965343/Norwegian_AustAgder_Bunad_medium.JPG
