(303 items)
This is a 30 inch 1940's Manikin by Darling Co . She has a Deco look and would have been used as a display manikin on a store counter . This one appears to have been in a bridal shop . Darling Made several mannequins in 40's in minature size . As they gown could be made with very little material yet show the fashion of the day and full size could be ordered .
There is no real catagory for these on site so I added her to dolls . Some were dolls others for store display .

That poor girl got one heck of a "tramp stamp" :(
She is a very elegant doll, Mani, I don't want to disrespect her. I tease 'cause I love...
mani did ya check your email?
All puns aside, this is a very beautiful display Manikin, she probably deserves more respect than I've given her. My mother always told me to respect my elders, and she older than me, well hope so. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece. After that speech, I need a cig
i agree with kerry10456!!!!
I love the fun along with sharing ! Much love to you all ! We can't be serious all the time it shortens our lives I hear :-)
that is for sure manikin!!!!!!

Thanks bellin I will be watchin for it ! did you leave her clothes on as they are quite unique !
yes i did , just gotten home from the gym!!!!, did you want a sticker on there.
Mani...Maybe Darling Display will come to her senses and be sitting under your tree in the morning.
LOL Hedge if she starts walking on her own I am outta here ! I will look for some under wear for her since I have another nude girl in house now the one I just finished . But she tends to like being nude she is a piece of art . However it does get a bit cold here in house so I will go looking when my back recovers she is heavy to hold upright for days on end . I think they filled her with lead !
Bellin what are you putting a sticker on ??? LOL
Mani I feel so terrible about her leaving! I have to learn to be more sensitive ! Darling Display PLEASE come home ! P.S. I still love the tramp stamp though.
Hedge she is already gone :-) Her tattoo as she calls it now it well liked where she is working
Merry Christmas !!!!
