Description
From Sheryl Of Her Restoration
This is a 1950's Saucy Walker
22" Doll by: IDEAL Toy Corp. She is in
great shape and was when we got her, no
cracks or seam splits. Her crier is
mute. She has a Monique replacement wig on
that can be set easily enough in braids or a
pony tail. (http://monique.com) Her
walking mechanism was taken apart by Dr.
Hubby and works perfectly. Her head
turns when she takes each step. She
has not been airbrushed except for her knee
and hand blushing and a tiny bit of
refreshed eye shadow. Other than that
and the new wig, she is original. Dr. Hubby
has lightly sanded her body to take off the
aging and to give the plastic a softer
appearance.
Her eyes have been polished
and they have our installed platforms to
keep the eyes from rolling or sinking.
After she leaves here and because we have no
idea how she will be handled, we do not
guarantee the platforms. The eyes open
and close. They move from side to side
as you also physically lean her from side to
side as she was designed by the factor to
do. We have drawn approximately 4 little
lower lashes only under her right eye as
they were faded when we got her.
There is the teeniest
tiny dark spot in that eyelash area that we
could not remove because it would have meant
taking off the original drawn on eyelashes
she still had. Unless it is mentioned,
it is not that noticeable.
 .
Her Designer Replica
Dress has been made by Lois toniwear@aol.com.
She has lined the top of the dress and also
has put button holes and three buttons on
the back of the dress. IDEAL ID's
their dresses by the buttons which were
pinwheel buttons at that time. This dress
has white buttons but are not
pinwheel. Her matching panties are
attached as IDEAL made dresses like this for
the Saucy Walker.
Her new replica
leather shoes similar to the early issue
Saucy Walker Dolls were made by Michele at:
(http://thisolddoll.com).
Her socks were purchased from Monique. (http://monique.com)
Her brand new Minnie
Mouse is approximately 10" tall and
stuffed. The tag is still attached to
her. We purchased the doll from the Disney
Company.
 Just a Note From
Sheryl:
Our pricing on the
dolls we sell are as reasonable as we can
make them keeping in mind all the days and
hours and supplies it takes to get the dolls
like new. I say this because many who
might not know of our reputation and may not
take this into consideration and somehow
forget that we have had to also purchase the
doll as well and the Saucy Walker is getting
more expensive as the time passes. We
are the only ones who offer the things that
we do such as our own invented eye platforms to
prevent the rolling and sinking of the eyes
that Saucy Walker dolls are so famous for
doing after 50 years of storage. A new
doll stand has always been sent out with
each of our dolls and the replica hang tag
that in time is expensive as well. From our
site we also offer Lay-a-way on many of them
and/or the Hold Doll option.
We do not have Saucy
Walker dolls for sale very often and when we
do they sell fast however, we do not make a
big enough profit to cover the time it takes
to make the dolls like new and because the
IDEAL Saucy Walker is gaining in value
quickly, our cost for the doll is rising
higher with each passing month. We ask that
you consider us when you purchase your Saucy
Walker elsewhere and you find that she is
not in the best condition, just remember to
contact us and we will be glad to assist you
and do all the work to make her the way you
expected her to be.
Each of our repair
dolls under our Package "A" will
have her own web page so you can follow
along with her restoration progress.
You can find many that we have done under
our BEFORE AND AFTER section on the front
page or our previous
restorations:
