    Step right up, and don't be shy
    Because you will not believe your eyes
    She's right here, behind the glass
    You're gonna like her 'cause she's got class

    You can look inside another world
    You get to talk to a pretty girl
    She's everything you dream about
    But don't fall in love

    She's a beauty
    She's one in a million girl
    She's a beauty

    I found this old bathing beauty but I can't find anything like her - she is upside down! I couldn't find a "germany" mark - she appears to be unsigned - there was a little crusty white stuff on her but it all rubs off easily - but apparently i didnt get her all cleaned up before I jumped the gun and took some piccies... does anyone have any references? It just seems sooooooooooo unusual - ohhh - she measures 2 1/2" X 2" - advanced thanxxxies

    I know I've seen similar, but I cant remember where, and it was a whole series of figures in related poses. But it's very possible more than one company made such.

    I recently saw some similar on Antques Roadshow. They came in various poses and seemed to have kept some value. But it may have been an older episode.

    Hot B&B decor in places like Cape May, NJ.

    I get a Japanese vibe, mostly from the way her facial features are depicted.

    Saw the Antiques Roadshow episode with similar. Wish I could remember more. Maybe German?

    it could be japan - but it could also be Germany - it appears that the stylized features really varied from company to company - I have seen a lot of untraditional poses but I still can’t find any that are completely upside down like this one - I would think that would lead to an attribution???? My guess is that this one might be a tad more obscure than many - I don’t want to say rare - but maybe scarce - it just seems to me that a search of “bathing beauty upside down” would have turned up some kind of results if it was common… hopefully someone will come up with something more - appreciate all the views and post!

    Is she doing a belly flop? There was a time I could bend all the way back.
    Now if I tried that, I would break like a pretzel.

    Since she has shoes on, maybe she is an acrobat.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Reminds me of a snapshot photo from my collection. What's funny about this is her face appears to be almost featureless, like one of those ceramics would look without paint. But I *think* it was a real person. The pose would be hard to hold, too.
