I’m looking for any information regarding the pictured figurine…manufacturer, country of manufacture, time period, etc. I haven’t been able to find any similar makers mark anywhere online. The piece is 8″ tall and there is a moveable ‘flap’ that rests on the lady’s bustle that can be lifted, revealing a small hollow cavity, presumably for storing odds and ends or perhaps coins. Any information is appreciated.

Give me a few minutes on this one !!
Your Bawdy Belle was a Japanese export and
was made by Lenwile Ardalt,,Japan !! The N in circle was used by many export companies and has something to do with Japan but I forget what !! Yours would also have had a stick on label with the AA Ardalt name !! These stickers are usually removed and many try to pass them off as made by other companies !! They were made from the 1940`s to about 1960`s !!
