I can’t make the word out at all. Looks like the first three letters might be “bre” but I really can’t tell.
Good morning, Georgette,
I combed through my doll-maker and marks books last night and couldn't find any mark that matched this so have left the attribution open-ended and valued it based on other German-made dolls of this vintage, size and condition. You're all set.
I can tell that one of the words is "Germany" but can't quite make out what the other word is - what does it look like to you?
