This is a bit of a change for me, but I felt so sorry for this little doll I just had to rescue her !! She was attached to an old baby body (obviously not the correct one for her) and was intact, but in a really grubby state with what looked like quite badly scuffed bisque. After a gentle clean she has turned out to be a little beauty...the scuffs were in the dirt, not the bisque!! She is marked on the back Armand Marseilles 370 6/0 Germany and with no damage to her original teeth and original blue glass sleep eyes (that work perfectly)...I think I found a little treasure!! So my next task is to design her a suitable reproduction body..then she'll need a wig...clothes....shoes.......what have I started!

I can't wait to see the finish product...I have a couple of Armand Marseille dolls. One of them is a "Florodora" that yours reminds me of...I'll be doing a post on those eventually, Florodora girls have an interesting story.
