Hi Your doll is what we call a reproduction of a Krammer Reinhart a German doll manufacture , I can't see the mold number
It is one the most common companies to copy as they did these character face dolls .
Your was made in a doll making class where they supply the mold and you paint head and make or buy body . It was signed by lady who made in class . This was a way to get a very expensive original doll at a low price to make it , So it is not a original artist doll but a copy of a antique head . value is in her being a display doll there is really no market for them at this time .
This is a link to original doll marked K*R
