Her price is now up to $72.00 with time still left in the auction. Just a little word of caution though... while the seller claims this doll is from 1860/1870, judging by the hair style and clothing, she looks to me to be closer to 1880 or even later.  Maybe late 1870's but definitely not 1860 since her hair is just too low on her forehead.

And it stopped at just over $100.

Sandy's right--this is a really, really common head style for a bit later in the century.  And the clothing works for "natural form" (1880s) too, so it looks like there's just a bit of wide dating range.  It's a sweet little dolly, though... not even 10" tall!
