Ms. #368 is from the German company of William Goebel. She is 4.5 inches tall and is of excellent bisque and decoration. She retains her original mohair wig, which, as is typical for Goebel, is a hank of mohair wrapped around her head and held in place at the sides with pearl-headed pins. These wigs are quite fragile and tend to unravel over time. She has desirable tinted gray stockings and molded dark gray pumps with black trim. Underneath, she is stamped in black "Germany" and painted with a freehand “k” under her left thigh.
Goebel made a number of variations of this mold, including a barefoot nude with molded hair or a wig, a bathing belle in a molded tank suit, and the scarcest of all, this masked lady of mystery. Also 4.5 inches tall, Ms. #394 wears a molded black half-mask, and a black beauty spot adorns her right cheek.
