The Schoenhut Lady Acrobats |
| The Lady Acrobat was made with both a bisque head (same as the Lady Rider) and a one-part head. It seems
plausible that a composition head Lady Acrobat was made using the heads
of the early composition Lady Riders, but none have been seen. |

One-part head Lady Acrobat
The last Lady Acrobat was the one-part composition
head. Due to hand painting, the face features can vary quite a bit from
sample to sample.
