vintage australian made joanne walker doll in original outfit AUD$185.00
Joanne Walker doll stands 30" (76cm) and was made in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1950's. She was sold in a lace trimmed frock and matching bonnet. This was taken from the book "Australian Dollmakers a History" by Marjory Fainges.
Joanne doll is wearing what I believe to be her original pink dress, with her original pink shoes. Her pink bonnet is vintage but is not original to Joanne but a very good match to the outfit. There is some wear to the dress - see pictures, and a rust mark to one of the sleeves.
Joanne is over 60 years old and as such has a some marks and scrapes which are consistent with age.
I have given you lots of pictures to see for yourselves, and if you need any further information then please email.
Her face is very pretty with all original face paint. Her piercing blue eyes tend to stick but can be helped to open and shut when required.
Her wig is a replacement which I was told was an original vintage wig from another Joanne doll. It is a very good replacement for her, as you can see by the pictures of Joanne in Marjory Fainges book.
She can stand but needs help to stay upright by herself, and she needs help to sit by herself.
Joanne is a lovely example of the early Australian dolls, which are getting harder and harder to find, and to find one in its original outfit - very, very rare indeed.
(My book Australian Dollmakers a History does not come with Joanne)

We are unsure as to who actually made this doll, but believe she may be an early 1950 Australian doll. She appears to be wearing her original bridal outfit which is just gorgeous.

POSSIBLE NETTA DOLL
BY AUSTRALIAN DOLL MANUFACTURER NETTA
15" (38CM) TALL
This doll was made circa 1993 and has some markings on the back of her neck but really I cannot make it out. She looks very similar to a Netta doll who was made by the doll company Netta in Adelaide,
South Australia.
She has:
. blonde rooted long thick hair.
open and shut blue eyes,
eyes fringed with original eyelashes,
original painted eyebrows,
original pinkish coloured mouth
.dimples on body like a baby
She has no nibbles or chew marks to her anywhere.
One eye is a little lazy and she sometimes winks at you. They both close and open but sometimes you may need to open the lazy eye by hand. See the pictures.
She comes to you wearing a vintage dress which may or may not be original to her but is wearing her original white panties.
''Our book called "Áustralian Dollmakers A History'' is not for sale just for demonstration purposes to show you the Netta doll which I believe her to be.
