What is the doll made of ?? Raise the hair and look on the back of the neck for a name !! How big is the doll ?? What do you mean early 1900`s !when was your grandmother born ?? Need to see the underside of the skirt !! Looks to be a Bed Doll or one made just for decoration rather than one for children to play with !! If so I am betting its a home made one rather than purchased !! Many dolls were re-purposed for these !!
