u/UnheimlichNoire

An eBay 'hack' I once read to search for typos when looking for items paid off here. I was the only bidder for an antique French wall mask of the Unknown Girl of the Seine (legendarily a drowned girl who was fished out of the river in Paris, whose features were used for Resuscitation Annie, the first aid doll (Annie are you ok? Are you ok Annie?) so got it at a great price. I also have a German reproduction from about the 1950s.

Picked this up for the amazing cost of £1 and 25 pence. No idea who it is but they had bad teeth.

I was sitting by my parents' grave sorting flowers out and this cute character decided to join me. Stopped for about 15 minutes getting strokes, rolling around and cleaning itself. Then it got on my leg, head-bopped me and was off on its adventures again. It looks very much like my passed-on soul-cat of 16 years Shah, so encounter was a bit bittersweet.

Whoever owns this cat has themselves a very affectionate, funny, beautiful little friend.

The circle bit at the end references sideshow banner art and says "ALIVE since 1932"
