Manikin
(62 items)
First I want to thank Phil for restoring this rare print . You are amazing !
This photo was done by James Montgomery Flagg who was best known for his work during WWII and painted poster of " A drawing of Uncle Sam and below it says I want you !" It was a recruitment poster to enlist .
These miniature manikins were used to teach girls to sew for war effort and all of the one's produced came with a pattern for a Nurse as they needed more Nurse's for War and it was a way to encourage young women to enlist along with a Nurse also they came with Military patterns for all branches of the service .
This is a Original Print that was glued on top of the box of a Simplicity miniature mannequin . It has water damage and is not flat as paper buckled when wet . This is a rare print and only one I have ever seen in my 30 years of collecting mannequins .
Our talented Phil restored the print . I am showing original and then his work on it . How beautiful it looks now .
Here is a photo of the mannequin photo represents also . She is 12 1/2 inch tall . She is not a doll but has no category to fit her into . She was not a store display mannequin she was a teaching aid .
SUPER DUPER JOB, Phil! The doll is beautiful.
Its a beautiful print, and I think I did a better job on this one than my retry on the larger scan. The mannequin itself seems impeccable, such fine condition. Thank you Manikin for letting me help you !!xoxo
Great job, and post!
Thank you Efegirl from myself and Phil :-)
I am astonished again. By Phil's expertise, and by your amazing collection Mani.
The doll is fantastic, and pristine. Look at her face and clothes! And the box and papers! Awesome.
Great! Fantastic! Your manikin is in such pristine condition, Mani :-)
Phil did his magic again, and the result is amazing.
Bravo to both of you, my friends!
XOXO

Another great piece of history. She's amazing and so well preserved!
Many thanks mcheconi for stopping and supporting this post :-)
I love it Mani. Takes a special person to be able to be a nurse. They seldom get the credit and appreciation they deserve. Anyone who has ever been in an Army field hospital has a great deal of respect for a nurse. Take it from someone who knows first hand.
Phil did an excellent job bringing the print back to life. Kudos to Phil for a job well done.
Thank you fhr :-) Yes we both know about the life of a military Nurse :-)
Many Thanks for stopping I appreciate everyone of you :-) Thank you from myself and Phil !
