Walda Porcelain Dolls 1970-1980s

Above is the ad that was featured in the back of Readers Digest magazine, as well as other magazines in the 1970-1980s.  The doll has a cloth body with stitched hips for bending, porcelain fired and painted white shoulder head, stationary glass like eyes, painted upper and lower lashes, cheek blush and rosebud red lips, with porcelain lower arms and legs.  She's usually found in a long prairie like cotton dress with bonnet, socks and shoes. 

Where in the world is Walda?  Today she can be found in antique shops, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Mission stores and other Thrift stores, online auctions and online doll shops.  She's everywhere and usually is mis-identified as a genuine antique doll by, everyone it seems.

Thus, she became affectionaly known as "Walda" on the eBay doll discussion board, as she turned up so often, all over the place.  Yep, many people find one like her in their attic, their grandmother or other family members home, when they are cleaning it out and think "oh what a great antique doll".

LOL, well maybe in another 100 years she will be considered an antique, but for now, she's just a mass produced porcelain doll, sold in the 1970s-1980s and possibly longer, whose value today is, just about what her lowest sale price originally was, $3.88 or less.
