    This doll I think is from the 1930s to 1940s.. There is no markings on it. This is a wind up doll. Thirteen inches tall..

      Hi I wonder if you can measure her again standing . And photo her face . She is Wanda The Walking doll made by Advance although she is sometimes listed as being made by Walkalon Co. Look through all the photos on link so you can see bottom of her feet ,they did 2 types of rollers this one is same as yours :-)

      Will this doll go up in value in the future?
    10. Manikin Manikin, 10 years ago
      Hard to tell where market will go but I rather doubt she will as they are fairly common to find .
    11. mowgli191 mowgli191, 10 years ago
      Oh okay thanks. This is the first one I have ever found.

      I think she's really sweet. Does she work?
    13. mowgli191 mowgli191, 10 years ago

    14. mowgli191 mowgli191, 10 years ago
