I could not find anymore details about those French [similar] ladies. On the Canvas Royal Paris , retouche main 3709 ... I washed them gently with baby shampoo and straightened them, by `laying` them on the tiled wall , while wet, they are now clean and kind of boring. I am willing to exchange them with somebody, for something else???? Small enough to be sent in a small air mail envelope... Any suggestions? mirjam
