Description
23" (58 cm.) Standing upon a velvet-covered wooden
base is a bisque-head doll with blue glass
eyes,mohair lashes,open mouth,row of
teeth,brunette human hair,carton torso with adult
female shape,elongated slender arms and legs. She
is wearing a silk and velvet folklore style
costume and carries a silk covered flower box
decorated with a flower-covered cone. The box is
actually supported by metal rod from
torso,although it appears as though she is
carrying it. Movements and Music. Standing,as
though offering flowers,she nods to her right hand
and lifts her hand to show a small posy of silk
flowers,then turns her head side-to-side,and
nodding to her left hand,she lifts the lid -
surprise! - on what appeared to be a bouquet of
flowers but is actually hiding a little dancing
doll. Two tunes play,as indicated by the original
paper label,"For Me and My Gal" and "Valsez Jolies
Gosses". The winding key has L.B. initials.
Notes. French,circa 1915,a later model by Leopold
