[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 11589320, member: 5833"]I'm not sure when she debuted, but like Headband Girl, I've never seen an instance that didn't strike me as being post-WWII. In addition to the Nose Rule - the smaller the nose, the newer the cameo - I also have the Hairstyle Rule - the cameo cannot be earlier than the time when the hairstyle became popular. Yours is an interesting case. The ponytail is almost vestigial, while the cutter has added details lifted from earlier times: the butterfly, the grain, the earring. Suspect she is no older than mid-1950s, but executed by someone acquainted with Victorian era cameos. Too bad the mount is gone; the findings could have been informative. Unlike Headband Girl, who is almost always glass, Ponytail Girl is so fetching that she turns up in various materials.
