    Dear Friends-Despite all my curmudgeonly griping abt Our local Thrifts,I found this today at my neighborhood one.It's abt 6 1/2" tall and seems (w/o an electron microscope) pristine. It's one of the few Doulton figurals I actually know along w/ the Balloon Lady.Does it look legit or a forgery ? Thank You & Thank You again for Your expertise.
    PS-I also saw at same Thrift a CPR Practice Dummy,should've enquired the price,but didn't want to drop the statuette. Gypsy1.jpg Gypsy2.jpg Gypsy3.jpg Gypsy4.jpg

    Nice set of registry marks too. I think some relate to glazes and the body of the figure. The one starting 874 is the figure itself. Leslie Haradine.

    the registry marks are a fine way of documenting artist,edition.In '54 ( when this piece debuted) Queen Elizabeth was 27 years old.

    Only trouble is, the marks can go on for decades! Those others are late 19th.

    'Fortune Teller' written by the great Allen Toussaint in 1962,covered by Benny Spellman and The Stones. He 'married the Fortune Teller and now he gets his fortune told for free'.
