I don't collect dolls, but I DO love the costumes -- and did want the Mary Lincoln doll from the US Historical Society. She was beautiful with lovely seed pearl jewelry. Very realistic looking.

I did find a doll in the purple velvet dress online here:

Is this the one? She is very nice....

This appears to be a mannequin. The link is an article saying this is Mary's orginial dress at the Smithsonian. It was probably a doll sold by a company such as Franklin Mint, or part of a "First Ladies" doll series. I did find a lsit of companies which have manufactured "First Ladies" dolls. Hopefully, an intenet search will also provide photographs.
Thanks for looking Betty. You are wonderful.
