I have a bisque half doll pin cushion. She is marked K G 1925. Very sultry, looks to have had glued on hair when new, still a few stray black hairs. Very heavy, and the pin cushion looks like it is filled with sawdust or a ground natural product of some type. Help me identify her, I would like to restore her hair or get the correct type wig for her.
Post a picture of her

about 10 years ago I bought a 3" baby doll from antique flea market at the time she said it was from germany she is made of soft rubber like material but not rubber as I 've ever seen it is almost sticky to the touch but not really sticky. She wears a linen like dress and bonnet and has painted shoes and hair she is jointed. without any markings to identify her. At the time there was a boy and a girl I only bought the girl now I wish I had both. I would like any info I could find . I could send a picture to help identify.
Does anybody here know anything about the Kasma collection? I can post pictures later. They are about a foot long with porcelain heads and hands
