Hi All,
I found a Francie Doll Head and on the rim was the following: 1965 Mattel Inc./ IAPAN What I am assuming is that the I is a misprint and should have been a J forJapan. Has anyone seen this before? I will attach a photo but it is hard to take photo's of it.
TIA
Ellen

Rather than a misprint, I would think more likely part of the J rubbed off some with age/wear/play and looks like an I now, maybe? But yes, the correct marking would be Japan.

Hi Kiraalt,
Thank You for responding. I thought the same thing about it rubbing off but I do not see any sign that the top of the J nor the bottom hook on the J ever existed. I have taken a couple of better pictures using a magnifying glass. I will post them here.
Thanks
Ellen
