This beautiful piece is from Western Germany, and dates to the 1950's. She was made in the Erzgebirge region. She really matches the boy I have in another listing, but he is marked West Germany. She is merely marked "Foreign". She is definitely German, from the era right after WWII. I am just not too sure what "Foreign" meant. I think it may have had something to do with not being for export out of the German Democratic Republic - it was exported from West Germany to East Germany. The were part of a set, just not with each other. It was a set I got that was a "marriage". That means that two pieces that are the same from different pieces are "married" to make a set, but weren't originally. This often happens with books and dust jackets. A first edition with a bad dust jacket would be married to a nicer dust jacket from a different book, to create a nicer first edition. Is this all right? Not really!
ANYway, back to this girl. She works, but doesn't do much. She just shuffles her feet and vibrates a lot. Her shoes are great - the look like leather, although I don't believe they are. Her arms are made from stretchy net, and her hand has a hole where she carries the little flowers. Her clothes are real cloth, and in very good condition - they are slightly soiled, but not really dirty. She stands just fine, and has a key to wind in the back. She is medium sized at 6.5 inches. She doesn't have any damage, just a few chips to paint on her ear tips, and a bit of overall "age".
