May be difficult to find information on your doll. You can search online for possible information, contact doll collectors who may have experience with older dolls, consider large old libraries that may have old books on the subject, etc.
Good Luck!!!
Hi,
Sure!
She is an Armand Marseille of Sonneberg and Koppelsdorf, Thuringia, Germany doll.
AM is one of the worlds' largest and best known bisque doll head manufacturers and also one of the most desirable doll manufacturers for vintage dolls.
From 1900 to 1930 it's reported Marseille produced 1,000 bisque doll heads a day, they made bisque head baby, children, lady and character dolls, on cloth, kid or composition bodies, most with glass eyes, some with painted eyes, with the most commonly found doll molds of 370 (shoulder head on a cloth or kid body) and 390 (socket head on a composition body).
Marseille interestingly did not produce the body of their dolls, but purchased those from other doll manufactures.
I hope this helps you.
Take care and greetings from Portugal
Manuela
