Hello,
great to see such a nice piece with the garments box. I also own the same luxite mannequin, but my one has just the underpants and the bra.
Do you know how much they are worth today (approx)?
Best wishes,
Streamliner1940s
Hello Streamliner , The prices have fell a bit but as she is with all her clothes made by Luxite and I believe 9 outfits , no damage ,original stand Value should be about 12oo on mine, But that is not what the market does they can go low or to high . I sold this one private sale for under 1000.00 . Today if listed with just mannequin I would expect to get maybe maybe 500 depending on condition and the clothes to her as an advertising piece are important to piece and their condition . Hope that helps :-) less if no stand by luxite or clothes .
Thanks for stopping by . I would keep all my mannequin girls if I had the space . So glad to meet someone with a interest in them also !
Hello Manikin,
thank you very much for your kind response and the informations.
I bought the doll many years ago and I'll keep it in my collection.
There is not much information about these mannequins on the web. So i was very happy to find this page.
By the way, you have a very nice collection!
Thanks again
What a beautiful manikin, I just love it!!!
Thank you Kathy :-) and Mustang !
Hi Mani,
You're Welcome! I really think the manikin is so pretty. What a nice collection you have.
Thank you Kathy . I do love them but only post some , Stay well !
Such a pretty manikin, reminds me of a lady I saw once in Canora, SK. ;-)
Bro she looks just like the Hardware lady in sask :-)
I think they used the same beautiful model, with the same hairstyle!
