Delightful, hard to find and straight from old stock of a long closed store is this adorable, "WANDA" the Walking Doll. Standing 18" tall, this hard plastic and vinyl head doll, c.1949, by The Advance Doll & Toy Co., Ct. is called "Wanda, The Walking Wonder". She is complete with her original name banner label along with a copy of the original manufacturer's instructions and has no defects, no cracks or repairs. This heavy doll houses a walking mechanism that turns her head and moves her arms and legs (with rollers in her shoes) to walk with a large key wind under her arm. She has lovely coloring, sleep eyes with perfect hair lashes and closed mouth. Her original, thick rooted, auburn hair has never been disturbed or trimmed. She wears her original, pink plaid, crisp nylon play dress with puff sleeves, white trim and black belt and original pink cotton onesie underwear and WANDA ribbon banner. Nearly all of these walker dolls were dressed in either cotton pique or nylon dresses (with and without bonnets). And a few were made for holiday store promotions. (please see last photos for holiday Wanda Wabbit and another MIB hard plastic Wanda doll not included and listed separately) She works perfectly. This listing is for only this one doll. She is in excellent condition with no damages, no chips, splits, or cracks, no missing parts and no repairs. She has no odors or dust and is from a smoke free home.
