This 12" composition doll is marked "E. Goldberger" for Eugene G. Goldberger, a Hungarian immigrant who began manufacturing dolls in Manhattan in 1916. A sticker on the doll's back reads "Nov. 1 - 30, Sat. / ND ? IND 27-0 / Burrell's 25 year Birthday!" The Fighting Irish defeated Indiana University 27-0 on Nov. 1, 1930, on their way to a perfect 10-0 season and the national championship in coach Knute Rockne's 13thÿand final season.
