I’m guessing late Victorian or maybe even just after? Auctioneer made a joke about her rough looks. I’ll admit I know what he meant but I think she’s got something beautiful about her as well. The condition is rougher still but rough equaled cheapish so I took it home. It’s been tucked away for months but I decided to take it out today for a viewing. I had forgotten about the hand written family note on the reverse. The gallery/store sticker is too incomplete to lend clues for me. Since the family name is “Bridge” the search results get a bit muddied. I couldn’t make out the sisters name. I know some folks on here are pretty good with genealogy so maybe someone could lend a hand there? As much as I like her I’ll probably try to get her adopted sooner than later.  I’d like to know more for my own curiosity but also to help her move along.[/QUOTE]
