Thanks, Donna! Glad to oblige...

This is by far the best doll wearing the white gown with rufffles. I have searched and searched. I did find companies which made "First Ladies" dolls. I have not been able to located photos for the ones made by Nortel, Brinn's, or Carlson.
I did find that Suzanne Gibson was commissioned by the Smithsonian to create dolls for Reeves International. Her "Mary" wore the purple dress. I am wondering if this is the one I remember. The one I saw years ago was in mint condition, and the ones I have seen recently are not.
