Doll experts! Help me out here... I found some dolls on e-bay that I THINK look like mid 19th century dolls, but I wanted to see if I'm on the right track. Any of these look a little off?

(Third doll from the left caught my eye, the one with the bonnet on.)

Well for what it's worth. Here's my humble opinion. I'm not sure if you want the doll as a collectible or for a child to play with,at reenactments? If you want it for a child,you might want to consider buying a re pro,so as not to destroy a piece of history,even by accident. Having said that. I like all of them!
1.yes and way cute. but small..good price though.
2.yes but she's very small
3.yes but the position of the chips might make it hard to keep your thread that attaches the head to the body from cutting in two,that might also make her a less desirable child's toy.. .but wow what a great price.. she has a bit of a diffrent look. I want her.
4.1 is later generally called a low brow china. I have one just like her,2.has a odd look she might be repainted,but as a child's toy she has the earlier look and "if" she is a re pro,she might be perfect for a child to play with and not spend the day worrying about if she breaks it. 3. the one you like.looks fine to me. and 4. is a later time period often seen made up as a boy
5.Beautiful. But badly damaged,which might make her to fragile as a plaything for a child.but heck,at that price..I want her too.
