I got this at a local sale for a 1.00 it was buried at the bottom of a box. The guy said it was his moms and he was in his 40's. I'm not sure if he was pulling my leg or not but for a buck why not. The figure is about 8 or 9 inches tall and has a rubber head and rubber/plastic body. In very nice shape. I can't find any markings at all on the doll. Does anyone know the doll or how old it is or company?
