This is a 1950s hard plastic walking doll, measuring 17 inches tall. The doll is possibly made by Roberta Doll Co. (marketed as "Roberta Ann" or "Roberta Walker") or Horsman (notably the 18-inch "Cindy Strutter" or "Roxanne"), both of which used the distinctive "180" neck mold. She features sleep eyes, an open mouth revealing molded upper teeth, a painted tongue, and internal walker leg joints. The doll comes with a blond wig, a plaid dress with lace trim, a straw hat with ribbons, white socks, white shoes, and additional undergarments. Notable condition issue: there is a visible crack at the top of the shoulder as shown. Please review images for further detail on condition and included clothing/wig. **SHIPPING NOT RECOMMENDED Shipping is not recommended for this doll due to the extremely delicate sleep eye mechanism. The internal eye assembly cannot be properly secured for safe transit without compromising the structural integrity of the doll. While we take great care in packaging every item, we cannot ensure the safe arrival of this doll through standard shipping methods. Bidders who require shipping are strongly encouraged to reconsider purchasing this item. If a buyer chooses to have the doll shipped despite this recommendation, they do so entirely at their own risk. The seller and auction company assume no responsibility or liability for any damage that may occur during transit or upon arrival at its destination.
