While the heads were probably made in Germany, the doll itself was almost certainly assembled in another country, probably the United States. While no traces of the propelling mechanism exist, the string threaded through the chest and certain holes at the back of the head suggest that the doll may have been suspended in some fashion, in order to cause the legs to "dance."
