Tiffany "Flower Girl" Musical Automaton Is Fake
By Christian Greinacher

In MMD 040419 MMDigest I reported about the fake automaton, Flower
Girl Nr. 5, and I mentioned "Beginning of April 2004 I got an email
from the owner of a Flower Girl Nr. 3.  Now I am waiting for some
more information but most probably this is another fake from the
same workshop.  When I get more information I will post it again."

Today I got a detailed description plus images of 'Flower Girl Nr. 3'.
In all the details (the doll, the box, the label) it looks so similar
to the fake 'Flower Girl Nr. 5' that there is no doubt that Nr. 3 comes
from the same workshop as Nr. 5.  See the attached two pictures and
compare them with Nr. 5 in MMD Archive.

The owner of Nr. 3 bought it about 1995 in a flea market in Paris.

Greetings from Germany
