    Larger doll has no markings anywhere and the bisque only has B. label. I can’t find the maker for either one.

      The bisque doll is German . It should be marked Germany under wig and also maybe a mold number . The Big doll is a German German Composition doll and there were many makers so it would only be a guess with no markings .

      I removed the wig and the bisque doll has no other markings besides the B. and size i’m not sure if thats normal or not.

      In 1891, a U.S. trade law required all imports to be marked to indicate country of origin. By then the great majority of dolls manufactured in Europe, Britain, and Asia that were destined for America.
      Your doll is pre 1890 but she is German and that Mark has been a mystery maker in books . Many many companies produced bisque dolls and some kept no records . She has a typical dolly face . Very lovely dolls :-)

      Hi paintmeyellow! What a small world! I spoke to you on Reddit a while back about the doll in the second photo. I think I'm ClaraOswald on there or something similar. I knew your name looked familiar !
