    This doll belongs to my Daughter's friend. I am trying to find out who made her. Does anyone know? She is about 26" tall. Her wig is human hair. She is missing her eyelashes. Her eyes are glass. She has only 1 earring in her ear. She is ball jointed. Her head is bisque and her body is what I believe to be composition. The marking on her neck reads, "Made In Germany." Below that is a #4. On the lower neck is a #73 or maybe it's a "13.". The number "7362" or "1362" is under her wig. (Can't tell) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
