[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 9431924, member: 63"]Hi all, I picked this up today - yes, there is a crack across the front but she looks interesting so I brought her home. The back is mother of pearl but no crack - so 2 layers of MOP put together with only the top one damaged? I can see glimpses of a signature on the back but pretty much impossible to get a clear photo. What I think I see - Ata/ory Am/n plus several letters then underneath is 1852. Sprinkling powder on the signature does nothing. She has a high ruffle collar, bits of her necklace showing. Are these possible to repair or is this a lost cause? any info appreciated thanks for looking:) [ATTACH=full]435694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435701[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
