This is an antique German bisque head baby doll, likely an Armand Marseille "Dream Baby" or Hermann Steiner model.This appears to be an early 20th-century baby doll, most likely German or American, with several notable characteristics that help narrow it down: What it is Type: Baby doll (often called a bisque, composition, or papier-mâché baby depending on material) Era: Roughly 1900–1925 Style: Realistic infant, common in nursery and cradle dolls of the period Key features visible Head: Smooth, pale head with soft facial modeling and painted lips The finish suggests bisque or composition rather than modern vinyl Eyes: Dark, possibly sleep eyes (hard to tell from the angle, but common for this style) Body: Likely a cloth body (stuffed), which was very typical Arms: Appear to be composition or bisque lower arms attached to the cloth torso Clothing: A sheer, pale pink cotton or muslin dress with lace trim This looks original or period-appropriate, not modern Condition notes (important for value) Dress shows age staining and wear, which is expected Face paint appears largely intact (a big plus) No obvious cracks visible from this angle, but seams and arms would need checking Clothing discoloration is common and does not automatically reduce collectible value Likely origins This doll fits well with makers such as: German manufacturers (e.g., Hertel & Schwab, Armand Marseille baby types) Early American makers producing unmarked cloth-body babies Many dolls of this type were unmarked, so lack of markings is not unusual.This particular doll belonged to my mother, who was born in 1918 and was a young girl in the depression. She called her "Gloria". I remember Gloria from when I was just a little girl in the 50's and 60's. She has always been handled gently. ***Props not included.
