Izannah Walker doll

Impressive 27-½ inch circle-dot Bru from one of the earliest bébé productions. Her fine porcelain breastplate is marked with the Bru brand circle and size number 10. She draws your attention with her blue paperweight eyes and expressive face. Her kid leather body, with the remains of a Bru label, recalls a child’s hands in play, all secrets to Bru’s success in merchandising. This doll comes from a very old and high-quality collection in Germany that Ladenburger is auctioning on September 23-24. See spielzeugauktion.de/ for more information.
