I have a 16" anatomically correct newborn with no company information. It says it is made in China and has a number 25 in a triangle on the back of the neck. I think this means it was the 25th one made. I am trying to figure out who made this doll and when. Thanks

I have not been able to identify the maker of your realistic, anatomically correct all vinyl boy baby doll. There is one currently listed on eBay with a number in a triangle mark and it is described as Realistic Newborn Baby Boy Doll "Made in China." The asking price is $65.00 or best offer. People like these dolls for a variety of reasons. Some people use them to make a "reborn" baby doll. Others like them as a play doll for their child. Some mental health providers buy these dolls so that a child can express where and how they might have been inappropriately touched. I started to see these dolls back in the early '90s, made in Spain by Berjusa and/or Famosa. They were sold in specialty doll shops for about $65 back then. A company called Berenguer was making them too (in China) and they were less expensive and sold at stores like Toys R Us. There was a lawsuit between those companies as to who had made them first. Berenguer prevailed, from what I remember. There was back then the thought that a doll made in China was not of the same quality as a doll made in Spain. I personally have not seen a difference in quality between this type of doll, regardless of which country it was made in.

Did you find out anymore? I have a girl newborn doll the same as your triangle doll but mine has a 29 in a square & it’s below “made in China”. Weird. I wonder what company it’s from & would love to find any info on it. I wonder if the triangle & square represent the gender. I also have a Berjursa boy closer to 1 year old, they are made of Completely different materials.

So I have 2!
I have one male with the number 51 inside of a rectangle. Looks the same as yours!
Then I have a female with the number 48 inside of a rectangle! Both say made in china! Cannot find the artist!

Good chance the number is just a mold mark, so if there are issues with the mold it can be pulled for repair or replacing or is for internal tracking and has no meaning or was added to make it look special, sorta like Beeny Babies with the special tags. More than likely you will never find who the artist is because they were made in a small shop somewhere in China from a "borrowed" design.
