Yes, I do know what mine are made of... I guess I needed to be more specific that I'm not asking about what/where the figures I have... I'm wondering what the origin of the original might have been, and if anyone has ever seen another. Lindac-- Good to know someone else thinks it's a carnival prize. I actually already had that tray, and it's a coincidence they all fit perfectly. If I came across another in red, I'd buy it. Sunnyca- No cushion... maybe just the shadow you're seeing? No markings anywhere on original. I will try being less politically correct in my search and see if that makes a difference... thanks!! Someone emailed me information on Esther Hunt and Joe Celona-- looks like they made somewhat similar busts, so maybe that is a clue to the time period. Thanks for the responses!!

Hi Tami Welcome to the world of dollmaking. I found this forum and signed up because a search for Duncan's product turned up your request. Gwen and I make porcelain dolls and have a teaching studio in Tasmania. I am currently researching pourable composites for body making and hope to find a strong durable composite which is not latex based as the ammonia smell during curing messes with asthma issues I have. Would love to know how you get on and if you have any questions about the porcelain side of the process I would be happy to answer.

I would wrape the hair in a close fitting net of somekind...even something like an onion bag and then use an electronic's vac to clean them...

Would you sell it all as one lot?? About all I would need is dress patterns. Even though I do have a lot of them,,,,,I am a pattern junkie!!! If you would like to private message me about this that is ok. Put your cursor on my name and where is says follow, click on it. Then you can send me a private message. Rosie
