The Number "12" on the Backstamp

In 1872, the Royal Doulton mark was used on all wares from the company

The Royal Doulton mark has been used since 1902 and is still in production today

In 1912-13, Charles Noke launched a new group of Royal Doulton figures
The first figure was named "Darling", HN1, in honor of Queen Mary who visited the factory and proclaimed "isn't he darling"

Beginning in 1913, a HN number was used on all wares

This HN number refers to artist/designer Harry Nixon of Royal Doulton
Harry Nixon was an artist in charge of painting the figures
Other artists included John Sparkes, George Tinsworth, Arthur Barlow, and Agnete Hoy among others

The HN numbers were chronological until 1940, after which time blocks of numbers were assigned to each modeler of figures

From 1928 to 1954, a small number was placed to the right of the crown's mark on all items made between those years
This number (the one at the right of the crown's mark) when added to the year 1927 will give the year of manufacture

The formula is--[1927 + 12]--=--1939 as the year of manufacture
