    Hello Board Friends - I have what I think is an Oscar Schlegelmilch figurine but I don't know how to date it or what it represents. It stands 8" tall and has a lot of very nice detail. A search of the L crown mark bring up Oscar Schlegelmilch but most of those marks are post war and I'm only familiar with early OS. I gave it a quick wash but didn't realize it needs a deep cleaning - my apologies. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

    Looks like she's holding a leash. Is she off-center on the base? Maybe she originally had a dog?

    Here's a screen shot from a paid data base Im using. The ones on the lower right and lower left seem to be the closest match. They are said to be marks "on Ludwigsburg reproductions from original molds.." ca 1902-1922. Untitled.jpg

    Lovely figure. Pity about the slight damage.

    Thank you all so much! Perhaps it's a necklace of some kind. I imagine it could restored but I'm rather fond of it as it is. She will join some of my other queens in one of my cabinets. Again, thank you!

    One of the dressel queens on the worthpt site does show a mark quite similar to yours in one pic. Although the pic is blurry
