We have no idea what these dolls are... they have no label or manufacturer on them that we can discern. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. The dolls in the first picture measure 9.25" + 12.25" high and look vintage to us. The other doll seems more modern, measures 12" high, and is of very high quality, with wooden skis on her back. Thank you!

The first two look like the dolls made in Poland. Are they stuffed with excelsior?

The dolls in the upper image are Greek soldiers. I had a few in the past that had a tag or label (don't recall which) indicating they were from Greece. Another source told me they were represented Greek soldiers. Didn't sell for much.

maybede - are you a doll expert. My sister has a doll from the worlds fair in San Francisco 1939. I looked it up, but couldn't find much.
It is quite old and she has had it for about 50 or 60 years. She lives in Canada but I could ask her to send you a pic if you like

Classic - BOTH NYC and SF had world's fairs in 1939. The SF one was called the "The Golden Gate International Exposition" San Francisco 1939-40. World's Fairs weren't like the Olympics with one "official" site.
