<p>[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 4264545, member: 31"]I got this lady the other day. She and her clothes are in such good condition that I thought at first she was a repro. A friend of mine was at my store and is an expert on antique fabrics and clothing. She assured me that the clothing, at least, was correct, and the head looked good to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>She is about 12" tall. I believe the head is an 1860 high brow type made in Germany. She has a gold painted necklace and bracelet. She has china arms and legs. She is wearing a dress, a bonnet, long petticoat, bloomers, and chemise. I didn't take the chemise off - I was afraid I'd rip it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me any more about her, or correct my guess?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, should I be photographing her against a darker background?
