:( I need your help
Identifying this doll is driving me a little nuts. It's antique for sure, but the signature on the back is worn. I used some crayon and onion paper to try to etch the signature, and all I can come up with is something that looks like a "Dino" or "Dunc"
Can anyone lend their expertise to identify this doll?
The baby she presents to us belongs to the DUNCAN Firm, eradicated in Taiwan around 1929. In the years of the depression they dedicated themselves to making porcelain dolls, copying especially the Germans. In the 70s and 80s, figurines of animals, pigs, horses, bears appeared, made of ceramic and stuffed fabric bodies, as well as kits to make at home. They are the current creators of the famous Duncan Yo-Yo.
