She has markings on the back of her head, "1902" whether this is the year i am unsure - it's the begining of the journey. Also there is another mark underneath which looks like this: 7/c i was hoping this is the maker?? She has a wig - the hair looks like its glued to leather or something. She has what looks like glass eyes - brown. She has eyelashes and her eyes are set. She is smiling and i can see little teeth. Her head i think is porcelin - but i really dont know. It is breakable as there is a small hairline crack on the side of her face. Her body seems to be made of timber thats painted. Her arms and legs are jointed. She has fingers and toes that is carved into the wood. She is about 50-55cm tall. She has all her original clothes andthe undergarments are a little tattered. Her head (neck) is also jointed. Hope this helps you to help me! Please, please!! Im taking her to a doll hospital and want to be informed as she is very precious to me passed on by my great great grandmother.

She would most likely be a bisque head oll on a ball jointed composition body. 1902 was a mold number used by Ernst Heubach of Köppelsdorf, Germany. 7/c may be referring to the size of the doll.

The hairline crack will effect the monetary value considerably, but will not not effect the sentimental value you have knowing this doll belonged to your great-great grandmother.
Here's one that's on ebay to compare.

Search on eBay for 'Antique Dolls" Search on Google(or Yahoo) for "Antique Dolls"+"Woodtex NY" Search through Google/Yahoo Images for Antique dolls" Other than that, go to Barnes & Nobles and look through the doll collector books at pictures. My mother has fooled around with dolls and antiques ever since I can rememember, too bad she doesn't use a computer; she could probably answer your question. You're bound to turn up something using one of those methods! Good Luck!

The description was good but a picture would be better, I believe the 1902 may be the MOLD number that was used to make the head not sure what the 7/c means. Please post a pic.
Also look at the link....
Do any of these come close?

From the information you gave I cannot tell you who the maker of the doll is...but her head is probably bisque and the body is called a composition body..........the "1902" for some reason makes me think she is german made....if you can put up a picture...if I seen her I might be able to tell you the maker............
