Hello, we are clearing out some old family storage and came across this doll. Looks to be from Germany and I found the maker's name but I cannot seem to find any other dolls similar to this one. It says it is 1 of 2000 made but I'm struggling to find some similar.

Your doll was made in Germany; probably in the 90's.
The designer/artist was Reinart Faelens.
It appears the company is called Reinart Faelens Arts & Crafts and they make porcelain dolls and other types of dolls but other types of dolls/bears/etc are usually listed under his RF Collection name.
Reinart Faelins dolls are plentiful online; all sizes and styles. Asking prices are high and very low but selling prices are generally low - less than $45.
Some of the writing on your certificate follows:
Handcrafted Porsche Doll
with numbering
1236
of the exclusive edition
'Nancy'
is with more elaborate dress
and Accessories equipped
the limited edition amounts to
2000 piece

I did not find your doll and found very few red heads.
It appears your doll was especially created for the Porsche Automobile sales company in Germany so it's possible someone in your family purchased this doll in Germany and possibly owned a Porsche car at one time.
I will not try to place a value on your doll as she appears to not be one of the 'run of the mill' type dolls and could possibly be worth more money.
I would suggest you remove everything from this box but the doll and papers and take it to the manager of the Porsche dealership in your area to see if they can verify what I have written is correct and see if they (or any of their personnel or wives) may be interested in purchasing your doll - that is; if you wish to sell.

These collectible dolls are mass produced and are worth virtually nothing. Yours is one of 2000 and there are other lots just like it.
I am a bit confused by what I am seeing.
Are all of those items tied together as one lot?
I know these dolls usually came with accessories, but not this may and they would not have been packaged haphazardly like this.
Are there two Certificates of authenticity?
I am having trouble trying to figure out which piece goes with what.
Perhaps once I know more I can offer more guidance.
Thanks!
i believe someone just stuffed the odd dolls/things in the box as all of the dolls that I reviewed did not have anything with them and nothing that I can see matches or seems to go with the doll.
I believe she is probably a pretty doll if she could be seen by herself.
Nice hair and cute shoes.
