    I went through my half doll book, but did not find her or the mark.

    You might find it worthwhile to look through the entire alphabet for the mark.

    She is considered an "arms" away half doll.

    I'm pretty sure it is a mark for the American pottery company Fulper. "The Fulper doll mark MS initials are for Martin Stangl, head of production for Horsman’s bisque head dolls."

    Perhaps a book is out there on Fulper dolls. A trip to your local library might be worth your while.

    You're welcome.

    If you are planning on selling, I would not state positively that it is Fulper. The symbol is the same, but the initials are different. Suggest and let the buyer bid on their knowledge.
