I have an original 'Posie' walking doll I received when I was 5 years old. She is in excellent condition, minus a crack in the shoulder and her vinyl face is a little tacky. I have her original yellow dress. She has bendable knees for sitting, eyelashes and rooted hair. Does anyone know what she would be worth and if I could get her repaired? Appreciate any help. An approximation would help me. thank you , Judy

Hate to say it but she is only worth getting repaired if you have a sentimental reason to . Her value would not increase and repairs would cost more than she would sell for . It is your call in the end . The tacky face will keep coming back it is common with some of the vinyl dolls esp a few years of the Barbie dolls and they changed the formula .The crack in shoulder is not a major concern unless it is so large her arm falls out . Cute doll !
