If that is the one you are referring to, then originally it had a &quot;pate&quot; to cover it. It would be made of a stiff material......perhaps cardboard. It would help the wig to fit better on the head and protect from dust, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your doll has an open mouth, which is later than a closed one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her age would be turn of the century.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could research when Cuno used that symbol.</p><p><br /></p><p>The clothes are not original to the doll.</p><p><br /></p><p>From your other photo showing the other arm sans hand, it looks like it&#039;s either bisque or porcelain. So it seems the doll has been altered greatly.</p><p><br /></p><p>COD made beautiful half dolls. Called such because they were made to go on pincushions, or on top of a clothes brush, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do the eyes close or are they stationary?
