Featured Royal Doulton-The local Thrift comes thru,what the heck ?!

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.

 

That's absolutely fine and kosher.

 

thanks bear-that's good,restores a bit of my jaded opinions re thrifts.odd,but in 45 or so odd years of picking i've never seen a resuscitation mannequin at an estate,garage sale or thrift.it wasn't priced,maybe i'll check back friday as everything's closed today here.

 

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.

 

The Fortune Teller HN 2159 was made from 1954/55-1967.
