It looks like plastic or composition. Composition is kind of like papier mache or wood pulp formed in a mold. Depending upon the material, it looks like 1940's or 1950's to me.

I have never been into the plastic ones, but this Ebay doll forum is very good. They have helped me with some of the old ones and there are plenty of people who collect the plastic ones there: http://forums.ebay.com/forum.jspa?rw=true&forumID=18&anticache=1310678426808 (http://forums.ebay.com/forum.jspa?rw=true&forumID=18&anticache=1310678426808)
