Hi. Thank you for your patience..With her being marked "Made in Hong Kong", she won't date to the early 1900s. We didn't start importing items from Hong Kong (particular plastic and rubber toys and dolls) until about the 1950s. Hong Kong had a huge expansion around that time and began exporting a number of goods. Trade was greatly expanded between Hong Kong and the rest of the world, particular the US and Canada..That would fit her design better. Her entire look and rubber material date more toward the 1950s/1960s...With just a Hong Kong mark, there's no way to know exactly which factory produced her. There were dozens that sprang up and made their own version of American Dolls (like Barbie, Effanbee, DressMe dolls, etc)..She's one of the higher quality types I've seen. She has a soft rubber head/body. It looks like her hair is rooted. She had moveable eyes and what looks like painted brows and lashes. She's more of what's considered a fashion doll from about the 1960s. .She's obviously been well taken care of. She looks beautiful. In that condition, she'll be worth about $75 to $90..The exact price will depend on where you sell it. Etsy and Amazon's Marketplace are great alternatives to Ebay. Rubylane, Tias, and Cyberattic are great online stores too, but they generally have a store "setup" fee, so unless you have a lot of items to list, they may be a bit too pricey, but they do get the "higher" paying customers. Etsy has some of the lowest rates and is great for items like this..There is also craigslist or kijiji since your in Canada. Your town might even have a facebook page dedicated to selling items (like an online garage sale). The only downside to these is you always run a risk of meeting someone that may be dangerous. If you go that route, never have them come to your house. Always meet someplace very public and never go alone. I don't generally recommend any of those options because I would hate for something to happen to you. One generally safe option is meeting up at a local police station. A lot of towns allow sellers to use their parking lots as meeting places..Ebay is more or less a last resort. It does reach a lot of people, but the values tend to be lower. You will always get a higher value by selling it yourself as opposed to an auction or selling it to a dealer. If you do decide to try Ebay, consider using reserves..If you have any questions, please let me know..I hope this has been helpful to you. I do my best to offer you the most current values and information using the latest guides and recorded sales..Please keep in mind I am only credited for my answer if you rate me positively. If you feel the need to use a lower rating which adds a negative mark to my profile or if you have any further questions about your item please feel free to reply to me and tell me what else I can do for you...If you're on a mobile device, please make sure to scroll to the top and click on the box that says finish rating! A box with stars in it should open and you can rate me there..If you have any trouble doing that, please let me know..If you would like to use me on any further questions. Requesting me expires in just a short time. If you put my name (DianaF) in the question, that will make sure it gets to me..I look forward to working with you again..Have a great day.~Diana ................
