DO YOU KNOW WHO MADE THESE

I am asking for help finding the make of these dolls - they are made by hand:
Abraham Lincoln, Betsy Ross, Ben Franklin and the Headless Horseman dolls
I have a customer who wants to purchase some for her shop.

They were made by a lady in Ohio, but she can't make out the rest of the words on the tags.  But it looks something like: V Mattoney but it could be something else. She purchased them in Lancaster, PA.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
E-mail me if you know something

Hi Karen,
It looks like it could be a pattern by The Primitive Lady, but I don't know who may have made the dolls.
The patterns are listed on patternmart.
Maybe that will help.
Blessings,
Jean

I know a store that carries these dolls in Uniontown Ohio they sure look the same, gorgeous detailing~ you could try calling the shop? Pine Cone Gift Shoppe 330 497-9840 ask for the owner Gary. He is a sweet heart see if he can help you~
If he doesn't help you, let me know I will give him a buzz.
