18” & 21” WAX DRESS MAKER MODELS. Purported to be from the 1840’s this pair of wax dressmaker models complete with history. Originally from “Claudia DuPont Lyons then from Tobias Fischer & Co., Inc., 4/21/62”. 1) A shoulder head with inset blue glass eyes, wax hands with molded gloves upon them, and wax legs with molded boots and stockings, all on a cloth body. This fine lady has lost a little coloring to her face, but still quite charming with her closed-mouth. Extremely well done. Her clothing is of newer vintage. 2) A wax shoulder head, wax arms, and wooden lower legs with carved high heel shoes. This doll quite possibly is all original wearing a fabulous silk flowered outfit with lace trim. Her face is most appealing. Finely detailed eyes, eyebrows & eyelashes, applied wig with bun in rear, and a painted smiling mouth. The intricacy of detailing to hands, facial features and clothing is amazing. CONDITION: Overall condition is very fine. Wax has darkened with age.
