We found this dress form in the back of the attic of a house that we bought from the owners who had it since 1910, the house was built in 1865. I believe this form is female, though her bosom has been flattened, the sway of the back makes me think female. It is made of brown paper machet. There are no tears or rips. A couple of water stains, but no softening. It is on a wood stand, walnut I think. I never think to have a picture when I go to antique shops, but so far no one has ever heard of one like this. Any help with dating it or value would be appreciated.
