The doll pictured above is either "Little Miss Ginger" produced by the Cosmopolitan Doll and Toy Corp., or "Little Miss Nancy Ann" produced by the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company. She was made in the late 1950's and is approximately 8 1/2 inches tall.
I have consulted a reference book which confirms that the two dolls are very similar except "Little Miss Ginger" is marked and "Little Miss Nancy Ann" is not. This particular doll has some indentations on her back that appear to indicate that perhaps the markings containing her name were scraped of the mold. She does, however, have the initials "LMG" inscribed on the inside of her arms and legs.
This doll was produced during the "Glamour/Fashion Doll" period of the late 1950's. This was the same time similar dolls such as "Little Miss Revlon" were produced. (Click here to see my " Little Miss Revlon" page) "Little Miss Ginger"/"Little Miss Nancy Ann" however, was 2 inches shorter than "Little Miss Revlon". The photos below show this difference in height as well as the difference in their shoe size
Both The Cosmopolitan Doll and Toy Corp. and the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company produced corresponding larger sized 10 1/2 versions of this doll called "Miss Ginger" and "Miss Nancy Ann"
"Little Miss Ginger"/"Little Miss Nancy Ann" is made entirely of vinyl with sleep eyes and rooted hair. She does not have pierced ears. As far as I can tell, she does not appear to be a "strung" doll like "Little Miss Revlon".
The doll in these photos has brunette hair, but I have seen photos of this same doll with various shades of blonde and brown hair. Both companies also produced extensive additional clothing for this doll which could be purchased separately. The doll in these photos is not wearing her original clothing, but is wearing a sundress made from a vintage "Little Miss Revlon" sewing pattern (reduced in size to 80% of the original). Her shoes are replacements that were made to fit the Madame Alexander doll "Cissette".
