[QUOTE="B. Swain, post: 3406541, member: 18138"]Wow! Thanks for all the replies! - I'll get some photos of the body. The clothing (My dad confirmed that it's vintage, but not original) is pretty much stitched on, so it's a process. She's lucky I took a class on hand sewing! - From examining her, I'd say she has a cloth body. Arms and legs are bisque. - I did try looking under the hair for a mark ... no luck. Her hair seems to be glued on and isn't really wig-like (maybe from when she was repaired?). Looks like a "closed dome" (I think that's the term?) head. Ears aren't pierced. - Some of you suggested that she has been repaired. I'd wondered about that, myself. It would certainly explain the cloth body and the "scar" on her shoulder plate. - Currently considering either CM Bergmann or Kestner brand. My dad wasn't given any info on her when he inherited her - all he knows is that she belonged to his Great Great Aunt.[/QUOTE]
