GORGEOUS FIGURE A STEINER BEBE
This beautiful French bebe has an early Figure A head. It is earlier than the head used for "Le Petit Parisien". The quality of the decorating is superb. Besides being gorgeous, it is flawless....not even a flake at the earring hole! Creamy, pale bisque, beautiful blue paperweight eyes, full lips and lovely painted eyebrows complete the picture. The markings on the head read: Figure A 8, Steiner Bte S.G.D.G. Paris. Her long, blonde mohair wig appears to be original to the doll (pate missing).
The body is in proportion to the head, however, it is a marriage of Steiner and Jumeau parts. The arms and lower legs are Steiner and the torso and upper legs are Jumeau.
If you can live with this gorgeous bebe knowing that she has someone else's thighs (wish I could trade my thighs!), you can have a great bargain. Or perhaps you have a 10 1/2" Figure A Steiner body in your parts drawer waiting for a gorgeous head. If so, this is your lucky day, as my price is only $3700. The Blue Book price for a 14 1/2" is $5,000 and I've noticed some dealers have them priced higher.
