Antique SFBJ Paris 60 Doll 1 1/2 Bisque Head Composite Jumeau Sleep Eyes 17"
Very good overall antique condition. Body has a few paint chips, spots of discoloration and general signs of aging and wear. Body appears to be made of composite and possibly wood as well (bottom leg joints look similar to wood. Inner side of both legs has paint worn down leaving two brown spots. Hands and feet show some wear and paint chips. Head is in great shape. Some black marks on eyelids and a few minor scuff marks and white marks on cheeks, but great shape other than that. Some adhesive shows around neck. Stamped SFBJ Paris 60 1 1/2. Eyes have a thin amount of blue color around outer edge of pupil. Collector has told me this is a Jumeau doll. Dress may be newer than the doll itself.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
There are enough SFBJ dolls on the market that buyers can afford to be picky about condition, and your doll has a bit more wear than is preferable (in good condition, this model brings between $150-200). I agree that the dress appears to be later
