Very nice pictures. I wonder if these mannequins were used to show dresses upon in the store, or just were decorative items?

Yes, what's interesting is that there are a lot of pin holes around the base and neckline of the two heads. In fact, there is still an old rusty pin embedded on the back right of the boy's base.
