<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 65024, member: 59&quot;]This is another of those things that I seem to have had &quot;forever&quot; but I&#039;m curious about how old she might be. My grandmother&#039;s? (born 1902) or her mother&#039;s (born 1879) ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Really tiny - 2.5 inches, head to toes. Hard to say what she&#039;s made of - does not feel like china and seems too light as well. But she doesn&#039;t have the smooth surface I normally associate with plastic. Look at the close-up of the face (hand-painted with a sweet expression) to get an idea of the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>She has articulated arms and legs, connected with little metal pins at the shoulders and hips, but I can&#039;t see where the head joins the body because of the ribbon around her neck. A very lightly impressed GERMANY runs down her spine. Dressed in gauze that seems to start at the cap and &quot;becomes&quot; the dress at the shoulders. (If that makes sense.)</p><p><br /></p><p>She had been living in the box you see in some of the pictures, surrounded by old cotton batting. No marks on the box, which of course could have been for something else originally.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone opine about her age and what kind of material she&#039;s made of?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]16809[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]16810[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]16811[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]16812[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
