I am not an expert on dolls, so I had to look this up:
A composition doll is a doll made partially or wholly out of composition, a composite material composed of sawdust, glue, and other materials such as cornstarch, resin and wood flour. The first composition dolls were made in the 19th century.
"Composite dolls were marketed as unbreakable, compared to earlier more fragile dolls. However, over time the composite material deteriorated, leaving many older dolls with small cracks and flaked surfaces. Some dolls were given a protective coating of varnish to delay deterioration.
"
Vintage condition, if this is composition, she must have been given that protective coating, as previously described,
as I don't see any cracks or flakes...I took many photos so you can see the condition
