Mystery Cloth Doll with Swivel Neck

Recently I bought a large doll in a booth at an antiques mall.  The doll is listed as being papier mache, but looking at the construction of the doll it is clear it is made of cloth.  I thought I would share images here, in hopes someone may have some information.

The doll has what I think is human hair seen on and is about 26" tall.  It has a swivel head, and the head is made of cloth.  The doll was wearing clothing which appears to be from the 50's, and boots which are much newer.  The seller says it came through a distance cousin of the family, and is probably from the 30's. But of course this is vague information. 

If you have any ideas, please comment!
