Title: Josef orignal California figureine
Post by: Firefligh on August 21, 2010, 11:54:01 pm

I have an amazing find. was at a thrift store and found a pre 1960's (so far as I can tell) josef original california figurine. I think she's the Amerian beauty series and has the sticker for June She's about 3 1/2 tall, has the black eyes and brown hair. She's holding a bouquet in a pink dress with gold ribbons and a gold bow on top
Any help would be great I've dug through every channel i could find to locate her and only found a Jan. and Nov.

The $65 would be a store pricing (good luck on that in this economy).

Realistic $25 - $45 for an avid collector.  The animals sell for a much higher price by collectors.  

Josef did one for every month of the year.  Not sure if this is one of the monthly ones....try searching for January Girl or February Girl, etc.  They are also called Birthday girls...so try January Birthday Girl, etc.

Not quite as 'nice' a $$ figure. As KC mentioned the $65 is store pricing. So somewhere in the middle is more likely.
