Please note: Estimate should be $1500-$2000. 31″ TETE JUMEAU #14.A nice example of a French bebe with pale bisque and large blue paperweight eyes on a fully jointed French composition body. Commonly referred to as a “scrub mark” Tete Jumeau the lettering “Tete Jumeau” has been scrubbed off and oftentimes this was done to avoid price fixing or to allow a retailer to sell an item such as this at a cheaper price. She is attired in a white fanciful cotton dress she has only one shoe, being French marked with a 13 with a “B” and stamped “Paris” on the partial sole, and a blond human hair wig of newer vintage. Lacking partial ring finger on right hand and her right eye has multiple cracks but is intact. Overall a very pleasing and large doll that can easily fit into and be affordable to a collector of French dolls. SIZE: 31″ tall. CONDITION: Composition body in very good original finish with some chipping to paint finish on both hands. Firing line above doll’s right ear with small line extending further down to top of ear. 1-14256 (1,500-2,000) – Lot 3147 Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2014 Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
