    I was given some dolls and am looking for info. This one seems to have two makerMark's. The one on her head reads "Max Handwerck 7 1/2 Germany. I haven't found any others with that type of number. And "RD" on her foot. Also no composite body/moveable joints. What have I got?

      Hi This is a reproduction Max Handwerck doll painted by a hobbyist in a ceramic class with initials RD. Most likely dates around 1980s when price of Antique bisque dolls were very high . Prices now are so affordable for a antique doll that these reproductions unless they have a sentimental value really have no value in todays market but make for nice displays .
