I've had this little doll forever. She's about 2.5 inches tall and fits in the palm of my hand. Has the Schildkrot/Schildchrot "Turtlemark" on her back and is Made in Germany. Very thin celluloid. That's all I know about this doll unfortunately. I've tried to research this one, but I wish I could find out when she might have been made. She seems early, and I've never found one by that company that was this small. Does anyone out there know?
Edit: I wanted to add that she has an early version of the turtlemark that was only used by the company until 1910. It's one without a rhombus. I couldn't get a photo, but I could give it another try. Her clothes are sewn right on her. It also says Germany and 8 1/2 as the size number. Thank you.
Some history..
"At the beginning of the 1980's, the only remaining products of the Schildkröt product range, were the famous dolls and the table tennis products, which were subsequently taken over by different companies. "

Dav2no1 thank you. I think she might be an early doll. I'm just not finding anything that's anywhere near my doll's diminutive size.
