<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sassafras, post: 2814886, member: 6320&quot;]Looks like an AM to me too. Fun fact...Armand Marseille was actually a German doll maker. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with the comments above. I don&#039;t think that the head is original to that particular body (although that is a German body) and it&#039;s not the same doll that&#039;s shown in the picture with your aunt. Beautiful picture, BTW!</p><p><br /></p><p>Her head was probably stuffed to keep the eye rocker stationary. It actually looks like the type of fabric that would have been used for her socks or an undershirt. Might want to check that out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a good idea to lightly stuff the heads on bisque dolls with sleep eyes when they&#039;re displayed for long periods or being shipped. The weight on the eye rocker (the mechanism that makes the eyes sleep) can dislodge from the plaster and make the dolls eyes fall out...or even worse crack the bisque. If you are storing bisque dolls, lay them face down so you don&#039;t have to worry about the eyes. </p><p><br /></p><p>When you get her back can you let me know the size of her head? I&#039;ve got lots of antique doll wigs and if I&#039;ve got one that will fit, you&#039;re welcome to have it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
