Manikin
(64 items)
Margit Nilsen was famous for her miniature countertop Manikins/mannequins. She made one doll called a Deb-U -Doll that was flexible and could bend at waist with fold like an accordion. When found these dolls are no longer flexible and often broke as this one is at waist. There was also a little sister to her but the teen as I have posted is extremely rare to find. 19 inches tall . 1940s
I have enjoyed restoring manikins for many years to save for the future generations .
Hi to all my old friends I have been away a long time :-)
I added her among the large Deb-U-Doll in pink and 2 store countertop manikns .
Welcome Back, MANI !!!
Thank you vetraio50!! Now if I can get pics turned right side up :-)
Beautiful vintage doll Mani, love the pretty dress & hairstyle
BTW try this: turn phone on, hit camera app, turn phone sideways/horizontal, take pic, see if it comes out straight up)
I am a big fan of Margit Nilson, and recognize your rarities in this field !~
Thank you all so much !!

Welcome back Manikin!
Hi mcheconi ! I just popped in today since posting was so nice to see your still on site also . Have you had any luck finding mannequins ? xo
Mani, no luck finding mannequins unfortunately! But I already have a bunch of them :) so I am going after art objects (modern sculptures and paintings from the 60s and 70s) and Asian antiques, that are easier to sell down here. I am so glad to meet you and Phil again. Take care!
