Porcelain-head doll with crack on leg

Hi, I inherited this doll and don't know what the engraving on the back says, although it may be familiar to someone else? I'm considering selling it but she has a crack on the porcelain on her leg. If anyone who knows who this manufacturer may be or the age. I would be grateful.

 

Also, if she is even sellable due to the crack. My parents are deceased and all I know is that my great aunt (born in 1902) collected porcelain dolls. My mother never even told me that she had this doll in her possession. Please note: The doll's eyes do close and open.

I think you have a Horsman composition (no porcelain) doll. A very early doll from Horsman.

Hi.

She's very sellable if that's what you choose.  Good news is her face looks to be free of cracks or crazing.  😊
