    There it was, hanging on a post in the thrift shop. I had to have it. Money was no object ($8.00!!!).

    I didn't find this exact model, but did see similar ones of the same time period on the net. She looks lovely on the wall of my 1950s/1960s reading room!

    2. SEAN68 SEAN68, 9 years ago
      stunning!!

      Bossons UK did very similar handpainted heads and not just human. There is a Pub in Anglesy, North Wales UK that is dedicated to Bossons. I like your lady very much!

      GeodeJem & SEAN68 - Thanks!!! I am always amazed at the things that make their way into thrift shops. I am very familiar with Bossons UK. I lived in Little Cherington, Warwickshire and in Deddington, Oxfordshire and saw many of them. I'd love to be able to go to that pub!

      I too love this Efes... The smooth lines the color... Great piece!
    6. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      Thanks, Rick55. It pays to prowl around the thrift shops. :-)
    7. Manikin Manikin, 9 years ago
      I love her and what a fantastic price ! gorgeous
    8. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      Manikin - I was lucky. Right shop, right time...and people who didn't know what she is...!
    9. Manikin Manikin, 9 years ago
      Doesn't happen often but so lucky when it does and glad you grabbed her up quick !
      I am usually a minute to late and see it when someone picks it up :-(
    10. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      Thanks to everybody for the great comments/love! Manikin, I can relate to that...I am sometimes a day late and a dollar short when I see something across the room, at another table, and somebody swoops down grabs it...lol~!

    12. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      mcheconi - I sure do!
    13. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      I have this one, too. Not perfect but I think she's beautiful.
