COMMENTS: Doll is a lovely example of a small-sized poupee. Many of these dolls are unmarked, making identification difficult. Wear on limbs of these dolls is common; this doll has unusually sturdy body (no wires poking through fingers or dirt, etc.) French fashion dolls had wonderful, complete worlds of outfits and accessories, much like modern fashion dolls.
MARKET REPORT: Although kid-bodied poupees are not the rarest, dolls with very mint, sturdy kid bodies continue to do well in the market place.
