Early on the mannequin was referred to as a , “Dummy”. By about the 1920's mannequins started to be made with a more durable composite made with plaster and department stores changed the term “dummy”into mannequin and that use has stuck ever since. This is an old mannequin that is estimated to be circa 1920's - 1930's based upon the mannequin material that is a hard composite type material with a layer of plaster over it. This dress form was obtained from a company that was founded in the early 1920's that the metal stand and base were attached to the dress form therefore I can only assume that they were originally designed to be used together. Bust - 37” Waist – 25 1/2” Hips - 36” Weight – 17 lbs. The mannequin is in a fixed position standing at 61" tall.
There are some hairline cracks and a worn area under the right shoulder projection where a small area has the plaster finish chipped off. Due to age and use there could be the signs of wear and tear such as scratches, scuff marks, small tears or holes, worn areas, color fading and similar. Please see the photos to get a better feel for the condition and please let me know if you have any questions.
