Renee's Little Look-a-Like 22'
Saucy Walker. Her body is so close to the Hercules Acetate that Ideal
used for their Saucy Walkers, we think Ideal might
have manufactured this doll for another company. If someone
has a doll like this one, please contact us to let
us know who the manufacturer might be.

We had the paint for
her blended and was told that the glossy would hold
up better when the parts are rubbed together.
So it is a tiny bit shinier as you can see in one
coat on the inside of her shoulder joint at the top
of her arm. The satin tends to rub off easier
at the joints where this should not as you already
know about on your Impco doll. Dr, hubby will be
sanitizing her after he gets her legs off. |

After the water hits the wig the
thread is weak on all Saucy Walker Dolls so we are
allowing her hair and all the threads to dry.
In the back we need to glue the hair at the neckline
before we comb out the curls and style it. We
use the rubber bands to hold the hair in place
because of the threads and the fact her hair style
needs the straighter hair from the crown down to the
curls. In her face photo you can see the
rubber band under her nose..poor baby. We took
out her teeth and the felt tongue and will replace
only the felt. The teeth are still in great
condition. Her eyes are cleaned and the polish
solution is drying on each eye so we can machine
polish them later. These are not Saucy eyes, but
more like your Impco Doll's eyes and I decided they
are perfect and the weight in her head is so much
better than the Impco so I did not unclamp them
which of course is more of a value to the doll.
If you will notice above in the
BEFORE photos, she does have a nick on her nose and
Dr. Hubby will have to touch it up with this new
paint. Hope it works and not too shiny in one
spot. Her face does not need re-painting. |

Eyes cleaned and
shine from the polishing, lips shine now, new felt
tongue and teeth cleaned, face cleaned and polished,
hair of course cleaned but now glued back on her
head and drying for days now. Her hair still has the
original curls. Once the glue is dried we will
refresh the hairdo and fluff up the curls at the
neckline.

We
are so pleased with the matching of the custom
blended paint on the body and the original paint
color on the head. This doll will appear to be
brand new when we finish. One more coat of
paint on the body and she will be ready to put back
together. |
