22" Bru Jne "R" marking on head. She has long, blond human hair and blue sleep eyes, a pretty open mouth with teeth. This particular example has delicate facial paint with multi-stroke brows & lashes, and nice, creamy bisque without speckling. Her body is composition, with wood arms & legs and jointed wrists. Body has original finish. What makes her special is she is a "Bebe Mechanique". the Bru company advertised her in the 1890's as walking, talking, kiss throwing, and head turning. Today you risk breaking her strings trying to get her to do any of these things, of course, but I was actually able to get her to do a little of each. She also turned her head to the left and shifted her feet forward and back. (When you move her left foot forward she makes a noise.) The kiss throwing was the trickiest to get her to do; she seems very fickle and I don't know what to say about it. I don't understand why one day she just started throwing her arm out as she was supposed to when I pulled her 'short' string. It's interesting how all of these things made her the more expensive model in her day. |
