If you have a Lioret Jumeau doll missing a leg this is for you

If you are missing both legs you are really in luck!

And if you are missing both arms as well.....rapture!!

anyway, I'm baffled

Well, if you haven't heard the advertisement yet, let me just say: "You can find anything on Ebay."

That being said, I find this a lot less confusing myself than the listings that were running wild about a year ago which listed items such as "smelly, trashed shoes," and were commanding prices sometimes in the hundreds of dollars. Come to find out, it was a foot fetish thing. (Call me clueless...)

Anyway, just in case one doesn't require the entire leg, but perhaps both upper doll thighs, problem solved: eBay Item #350366507101

...and they even have the body and a reproduction head....

Strange, it's happening all the time with really nice, complete and usable phonographs (parting out), but if it's a phonograph doll the travesty is more obvious and it hurts a bit more to see it. I guess the sum of the parts is worth more than the original complete machine. Sad.
