Finds from a dump

Found all these items at a dump today. I liked the porcelain doll head the most. It is from the early 1900s according to a website I found.

Thank you Leslie! Does your wife have any similar flat doll heads like mine? I have never seen anything like it before.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't know of a website to date porcelain. I looked up the numbers on the back of the doll and country of orgin and it popped right up.

Here's a link to one for sale. Maybe someone has "The Collector's Encyclopedia of Half-Dolls" and could scan page 513...

Thanks for the info and replys, I am disappointed a little because I returned a few days later and I found about 4 or 5 broken crocks that were almost intact. I have only found 1 crock before worth keeping that had a crack running down the middle but at a different dump. At least I have made some decent recoveries.
