A antique doll in the original cardboard box with limited markings or identification, Has been difficult in locating any sources or paths for its history or if its a one of a kind model?
some web sites, have a variety of catogories on the styles or how to distingishing one doll from another. the problem is How, what, where, to find information necessary to make any certain doll/dolls anymore valuable because of age, material, or maker. any information is greatly appreciated!

The box is sort of white with faded red cartoon caricatures
that could be about the time of {Amos & Andy?} >my thought<

The doll has a ceramic head and body;
height: 2 feet>? real black hair,
eyes are blue, and open & close,
and she is dressed in a wedding dress.
Her shoes are thin white plastic
where a name ; number >circled< followed with another word. (both shoes)

That is the only Identification that is on the doll, or actually the shoes.

I hope that is helpful!.
The box, and her wedding outfit is sort of tarnished, but excellent condition.
There is a chance she might become a actual wedding gift, next year, (still havent decided.)
Any ideas, or comments are greatly appreciated! Thanxs!
