    Got the pictures She is a 1930's doll now I am looking for the factory and will email that to you

    I wanted to give you some more help in identifying your doll. Yes kestner did make paper mache dolls. Your doll is not that early since it is marked germany. They were only marked with a country for export rules set into place in the 1880's forward. Before that they are very hard to id. If you can send a link with a photo I will be glad to give you a hand on which factory. I do have a kestner in from 1830's no marks you date them via the hair style and the painting style and cloth. I as well have one from the 1700's with the tuck comb and a volt cloth body and leather arms. Very few paper mache dolls made it through the years because rats and bugs thought they were thanksgiving dinner for them. So send me a picture then I can help you. Good luck

    It could be a doll by Johann Daniel Kestner (1787–1858), German doll and toy maker from Waltershausen, Germany.
