This is a terrific, fairly rare Decter from the JX collection, which is, I believe, Junior Expressions from the earliest 1980’s. The head is Jeri, which we still offer at Vaudeville Mannequins’ web site. This is in really good condition, considering that it’s 40 years old now. There’s tape residue at the one shoulder, but I can’t figure out why, as the arm seems to stay in place just fine. This should come off with goo-gone, no problem. There’s overall wear, of course, but the paint is in good condition-except that it needs a really good cleaning. And it’s designed to lean on either the shoulder of another mannequin (the arm is placed at shoulder height specifically for this reason) or on a pedestal or ledge. We did our best by putting onto the mantel of my fireplace in these photos. Decter has been making mannequins for decades-and our process hasn’t changed very much. Like all Vaudeville/Decter mannequins, it’s of the highest quality. Made of heavy fiberglass and resin, literally by hand. The casting of each piece, the hand sanding, the primer, more hand sanding, the two topcoats plus another overcoat-all done by hand. The beautiful paintwork on each face in a combination of airbrushing, acrylics, and oils, all done by hand. You can see individual “hairs” in each eyebr. The mannequin comes with a glass base and butt rod stand. Wig shown is not included. (Please let us know if you’d like a wig-we can make up this wig for an additional charge). Vaudeville Mannequins also has. More at our website. Our mannequins are seen in stores such as. Nordstrom, Macy’s, JC Penney, Neiman Marcus. And more, and comparable to legendary mannequin manufacturers. Adel Rootstein, Patina V. Greneker Wolf & Vine. Also-if you need touch up paint for this or any other mannequin-just take a hand to your local Lowe’s or Home Depot. With the new computers that they use, they can scan the hand and do an exact match to color and finish in no time flat.
