Rosa is a designer, she may have left a design project of Sakutaro.
Even with mass production, he would be unique:

楼座が娘の誕生日のために作った、世界でたった一つの、

Rosa made for the sake of Maria's birthday

And the house of the captain was a store to sell stuff like futons, right?
Sakutaro was made of cloth+cotton. Maybe some remains were there, and Ange fixed him.

Or maybe even a futon with a lion design or somthing like a dakimakura (did it exist in 1998?). This way, Maria would be able to sleep in peace forever with him.

As for Battler's sin;
A bit of randomness:

Spoiler:

I know it was 6 years ago, but, let's do some math.

From EP3, we know that Beatrice was in Kuwadorian in 1967 (Ronowe reded it).
I don't remember well if they mention a specific date, but, she met Rosa in 1967 or later.

With the info from the captain:

だが、九羽鳥庵への出入りは、ある日を境に、ぷっつりとなくなっちまった
今から大体３０年前だから、……昭和４３年頃だったと思う

Around 30 years ago is not very accurate but if it is, it would be (1998-30) 1968.

Battler (and Jessica) are 18 years old.
1986 - 18 = 1968

Beatrice = Mother ?!? hehe

And Battler always surviving until the end must have something more than just 'the protagonist goes until the end'.

It may have been discussed during episode 3, but whatever.

And why do we need to put everthing on spoiler anyway?

Spoiler for Spoiler:

That's a interesting theory but, I think Ange said he was his brother meaning he may be, at least, Rudolf's son... If Rudolf ever meet Beatrice I doubt he would forget it but, as long as is not denied, every possibility is true
