Kestner King of Doll Makers

Johann Daniel Kestner Jr. (JDK) of Waltershausen, Thuringia, Germany began making papier mache and wood dolls and toys as early as 1816. Kestner eventually went on to employ nearly three quarters of the inhabitants of the Waltershausen region which earned him the nickname "King Kestner". In 1858 J.D. Kestner passed away and his grandson Adolf eventually took over the running of the company, around 1860 Kestner produced wax over papier mache doll heads, by 1860 they acquired the Ohrdug porcelain factory and began to produce the bisque dolls known by collectors today. Kestner leather kid bodies may have a green label Celebrated, Excellence, Excelsior, Marvel, Par Excellence or Perfection along with the Kestner crown and streamer label.

Kestner Doll Mold Numbers
Kestner began using mold numbers in 1892, dolls prior were marked with the size number or a letter only.

The mold numbers are random is that there are numbers missing, but they are in order. For example the first mold number is 11 then theres 12, 72, 103, 111, 112, 120 etc. The highest mold number is 1070. Then there is also 7043, 70685, 70686

Everything above is to the best of my knowledge after reading everything I can find on the internet.
