<p>[QUOTE="opoe, post: 271104, member: 5459"]No one wanted her, all dusty and nicotine stained, when we, the closest relatives, were sorting out my uncle and aunt's treasures in Belgium...I felt sorry for her, so I decided to take her. At home I brushed off the dust and dirt and I discovered a winding mechanism on her pedestal, so ofcourse I had to try that, a melody played and then... she started to move her arms and her head, I totally did not expect that! Fascinating! Then I looked at the back of the head for a signature and it said Bru J...(the rest is hard to read), so I looked that up online not knowing much about antique dolls. I think she is old, but apparently the Bru (a world famous doll company from Paris)dolls from the 1800s have been copied a lot....
