We'll Meet Again. . . .

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

1939, Ross Parker and Hughie Charles

When I recently came across this lovely laughing lass, I thought she looked familiar.  By Galluba and Hofmann, she has an exceptionally beautiful face and animated expression.  Her mohair wig is original and she is as large as she is lovely at 6 inches long and 2.75 inches high.  Underneath she is incised "424 V.V."


A close up of her captivating face.  There is even a top row of tiny molded teeth.  Certainly this is not a face to be easily forgotten!


In fact, she has appeared earlier on this blog, at least in proxy.  Here she is pictured in a 1990 Theriault's auction catalog, with the same unusual woven headband.  Now I need to find that handsome hunk of a beach boy she is flirting with. . . .
