<p>[QUOTE="Kevolee, post: 4498825, member: 2594"]I can find a lot of wire doll forms and mannequins, but none with this type of wire. It almost looks like it's from and old screen door. It certainly looks to be old, especially the closeup of the face. I have no idea what the head is made of. At first I thought it was tin then removed it and the section that inserts almost looks plastic as does the tip of the nose where the paint is chipped, but I really don't think it is. The bottom looks to be clay and I get a feeling it may be molded. It stands around 14.5" Also the shape of the wood base is interesting. I will be grateful for any information, thoughts or suggestions.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393468[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393469[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393471[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393472[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393473[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393474[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393475[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393476[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
