The label is at the waistband on his right with blurred blue ink, but - I'll give it a shot tomorrow...

Ohhhhh do I feel dumb!  I originally posted the label was blurry... its me that's blurry!   :-X  Been sorting through many years of stuff.  Label on another toy was blurred out.  Anyway the label says Hungary.  Currently typing this post on my phone - for some reason attachments are disabled.  Will forward later.

Red Cap Doll Label Pic - turned out pretty clear on my phone, sent it to my computer and now it doesn't appear very clear but will post anyway... will try another if this doesn't work.  I looks like it says "Hungary" but the "H" sort of looks like a "B" - perhaps the ink bled?

After further inspection of this red hat doll I was wondering what material was used to make the face as it feels quite "thin" and underneath his cap there is additional brown material that was sewn (if you zoom in you can see the thread) into the face/head.  Just another "I dunno."

 See if you see some similarities with the first doll here !!  Yours is likely earlier !!

I do see some similarities such as the hands, the appearance of the face, etc.  Thank you very much for helping me out  :)!
