Does anybody know the name of this doll? I just bought it yesterday from a second hand store. The back of her neck says: Geppeddo 949/1,050-00.
Well, she sure is a cutie.
I hope you bought her because you wish to keep her or gift her to someone special as buying dolls to 'flip/sell' is not a very good idea right now.
The doll market is flooded and dolls are very slow sellers, even at very low (under$20) prices.
Not all companies actually name their dolls but even the ones that do, the name is usually on the box or on a tag and that is easily lost/separated from the doll.
There are thousands of Geppeddo dolls listed for sale so all anyone can do is look for your doll and that is very time consuming.
Someone may be familiar with your doll or the series and be able to help you more.
You can always check online for your doll as you have her size which is important when researching.
Check eBay for sale and sold and you can check the left side for narrowing the search - especially the size: eBay sold will also provide the prices people are paying for the doll.

You can also check Google and Etsy as they show a lot of dolls.

On the back of your doll's neck is her #949, the number of dolls in this limited edition is 1050.
I found two dolls from the same limited edition:
The name of your Geppeddo porcelain doll is Allie.
So recently my grandma bought me a new doll for my birthday. It just so happened to be a Geppeddo doll that I know started manufacturing in the 80s. I want to know the value, name, and year of manufacturing of this doll.
So it would be really helpful if anybody could give me any information about this doll.There are a few somewhat valuable Geppeddo dolls but most models of this brand are low value - $10-$35 and usually take a long time to sell.
Your doll does not have a 'number' relating to how many of these model dolls were manufactured, so without a COA, it seems the quantity could be any number - even 5-8 thousand or a lower number.
It will be very difficult and time-consuming to find the name of your doll as there are hundreds of these dolls listed for sale online and someone would have to do a visual search for this particular doll.

I found a Geppeddo Hannah doll at a flea market. There was paperwork and a photo still in her box that revealed she used to belong to my grandmother.
I'd like to know what year she was made, so I'll have a better idea of when my grandmother bought her.How much is The Enchanted Queen Doll?
The most expensive doll from this brand is asking $50 on eBay. www.ebay.com/
I inherited a few porcelain dolls from my mom. I took a pic of 4 of them and was hoping someone could tell me what I don't know about them. The 2 on the left are Geppedo series dolls and are in perfect shape with every accessory still with them. But I've not been able to find the exact dolls. Like the one on far left is supposed to be a Geppedo doll, Cinderella. But I can't find one with her head tilted like this and this dress on.
The second from left, I know is Geppedo from the maker's stamp, but don't know anything else.The market has hundreds of these dolls online right now. They are asking $10 to $50 . A lot of them have bid pricing and most have no takers even starting at $10.
Which doll is this?
This company makes millions of these dolls each year because they actually mass-produce the dolls. It is so hard to find the exact doll your are looking for and let alone the name of the doll. I know many people try to contact the company for more information but the company never seems to answer them back. Your only hope to find out the name of your doll is to watch the eBay auctions or dolls for sale and look for your doll online.
You do not state the size of your doll so doing research is really a 'guessing game' as all dolls come in different sizes and each company may make dolls in every size - 5" to 32" or more.
If she is approximately 8-9" then it's possible she belongs to the Geppeddo 'Playtime Series'.
Some of this series did have a basket/bassinet but there were numerous dolls and even different baskets. I did not see an exact match to your doll but finding her would require extensive research on the internet.
If your doll is this size you can check out some of the dolls in this series to see if they are similar to your doll.
Check eyes, eye lashes, eye brows, hands.
The dolls that I found look very similar to yours in respect to the eyes, eye brows, and closed hands (no open fingers).
I will list a few links if you wish to review them for yourself.
Most of these dolls are listed for sale at less then $25.
If your doll is from this series she may have been given a name but without the tag you may never find out for sure.

Sorry but this is all that I can offer with the information supplied.
She has me very puzzled.
The face does not match the Bassinet Baby Makayla Playtime Series (sometimes spelled MACAYIA). Is she 8 inches? I suppose it is possible she is an early version of this series and I am just not familiar with this face. The mouth is not quite right for the Makayla's...which is why I am puzzled.
If she is 9 inches she may be Playtime Series Debbie who is in the wrong situation--Debbie came with toys, not a bassinet, but it is possible she was switched.
There is another doll, Baby Mindy, not sure what series she was from, but she looks the most like your doll in the face....but she definitely did not come with a bassinet. I want to say she was 9 or 10 inches and came with a pillow or a stuffed animal. Not sure which.
Maybe with more info (like the size) I can help you figure it out.
Thanks for sharing!
