I recently found an obscure reference to a represention in china of the
Floradora Sextette, manufactured ca. 1900.  The piece represents the chorus
girls from the Broadway musical "Florodora," later spelled Floradora in popular
culture.

I would greatly appreciate any information regarding the piece or other
represenations of the Floradora girls you may know of or hold in your
collections in the decorative arts and/or popular culture, e.g., Floradora
skirt lifters, jewelry, etc.

With thanks,
