[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 4188644, member: 649"]Madame Alexander, anyone? I picked this lot up at a local estate sale for an embarrassingly low price. Is it safe to assume that the restringing receipt is correct in identifying the dolls? It states a Maggie face doll ballerina and a binnie walker. As you can see, one is definitely dressed like a ballerina! And the other one does have a walking mechanism. The clothes are all tagged Madame Alexander. There was even an interesting remnant from what I suppose was that original box.:) And I have a hard time believing that the valuations on the receipt can really be accurate. Might I hope for half what they state? EDIT: Well, I've already found out via [URL='https://www.dollreference.com/alexander_dolls1948-1960s.html']THIS REFERENCE SITE[/URL] that I have a Winnie Walker, not a Binnie Walker. Apparently, there's a difference in how the wig/hair is attached.
