my jumeau in the wild (of antique stores that is) (and first post here!)

i'm finally getting around to getting a post on here, so i thought it'd only be proper to give my new favorite gal the spot.

so, jumeaus were normally so wildly out of my college student budget, that i had never really bothered to look for them, nor would i expect to see a french doll somewhere local. lo and behold i spied this doll in a local antique shop laying down in a cabinet with modern clothes on and immediately had to do a double take. i took a closer look at her tag which had her listed as "German Doll" and then probably lost a few years off my life when my heart stopped working after seeing she was priced at $225. i instantly recognized her as having that french flair about her and took a closer look at her. i fell in love with her face and just couldn't leave her there!

in respect to her characteristics, she is minimally marked (with an X and a size number of 8) like many tete jumeaus i've seen after research on the internet and some help from the kind people on the dollreference forums. she has a styled human hair wig, stationary eyes, and is around 20'' tall. she has definitely been considering a sparse portion of her wig has been supplemented with a scrap of antique brown tapestry, but must have been kept safe, as her bisque is in great shape an her body has fared well, too. one other surprise i got was when i took off her clothing from the antique store. she has what appears to be her original corset, so i've included a picture of its inner stamp, complete with address!
