Well - I also have a baby doll from when my mother was 5 years old. She is now 70. This doll still has a working voice box that "cries" Mama. Her eyes move due to a weight and her head does come off for packing when we move. Her head and chest is porcelain biscuitware and her arms and legs are rubber. Body is fabric with stuffing and wire. Mom was always told to rub milk into the rubber to keep it soft and to keep it from drying out. Well, 65 years later the rubber is still soft, but has turned brown. The dress in the picture is one I made when I was 9. We still have her original dress, slip and bloomers.
