Thank you, Georg! I've recently found out it belonged to my grandfather's older sister who was probably born around 1910. Can you date the doll?

I've also switched it to for sale

Dear Dana,

Thank you for your email and my excuse that I forgot the dating of this doll. The term deposes ist mainly used during the German Empire that means until 1918/1919.

With kind regards,
Georg
