A 10-inch "block letter" F. G. in original clothing has mesmerizing blue eyes. It is interesting to note the wide range of sizes that French bébés were offered in. For example, the "Tete Jumeau" was sold in sixteen different known sizes, ranging from nine inches to thirty-five inches. The "Steiner Series A" dolls have been found as small as eight inches in height all the way up to thirty-eight inches tall. Other French companies produced wide ranges of sizes for single models. Compare this to the late-twentieth century doll manufacturers who typically produced a signature doll in a single size or two. A single standardized sizing would certainly appear to be more cost effective, for example, the iconic dolls of the 1940s and 1950s. From the eight-inch Ginny to Barbie's standard eleven and a half inches, most manufacturers of that time produced dolls having one mold in a single size. Having a single model in multiple sizes not only required multiple head-mold sizes but also bodies. Since French bébés were elaborately costumed this further required different clothing and shoe sizing for each size produced. This premier, early Jumeau, with a mischievous expression, measures only 9-inches. DOLL NEWS * UFDC.ORG 65http://www.UFDC.ORG
