21” REMARKABLE FRENCH ALMS BOX/BEBE. A truly unique and interesting alms box with a marked French head, probably from the First World War. The bisque head is contained on a tin cylinder.

A must have for any doll collector seeking something truly unique and rare! CONDITION: Head cracked in back, otherwise overall condition is very fine.
