PLEASE HELP
What I know (or think I know) is that they are German, bisque, shoulder head, bisque lower arms and lower legs, sawdust stuffing in one of them, original (?) clothing sewn directly onto the dolls, probably circa 1870-1900, about 6" tall, small feet with painted on shoes (with heels).
Markings:
On the top part of one of the bisque legs (on each doll) there appears to be, in relief, the letters HH or II, depending upon how you look at it. If those are "H"s then they are very wide and one above the other. If they are "I"s then they are side by side. The wigs are on so securely that I can't move or lift them at all to check under. On the back of the shoulders on one doll (the one split open with the sawdust) is engraved the number "9" then a slash "/" and below is another "9". The other doll also has a "9" and either a slash "/" (or maybe a "1" or maybe part of a "7"). Below those is either a "9" or a "0", but the bottom part of the number is covered by clothes so I cannot see the whole thing.
