By 1881 manufacturers were being a little more adventurous and tiny, fully jointed, dolls with sleeping eyes and long flowing hair were being advertised_ Many of these early dolls were unmarked, but can often be attributed to a particular manufacturer because of their similarity to larger dolls made by the same firm. Among the most sought after all-bisques are those known by collectors as `French’ type. These date from around 1880 and although some may have been manufactured in France, many are thought to have been made in Germany for the French market, possibly by Simon and Halbig.
