No factory markings are visibly apparent on the doll head.  Doll is constructed of vintage materials available in keeping with the age of the doll and filled with cotton batting with delicately stitched tiny hands.  Doll is wearing fine muslim long bloomers with gathered bottoms covered in embroidery stitch and  covered back button. A vintage lace trimmed slip was designed for this doll in keeping with the fashion of that time.
