The Artisan Raving Beauty Walking Dolls...
Custom Search
Okay Folks, I may have listings up on eBay, I list dolls, doll clothes and doll furniture, and some other stuff, click on my eBay ID above!! ...Walking Dolls, The Beauty "Walkers" Of The 1950's Near the bottom of this page - there is a form you can fill out to share your doll interests with others, along with pictures. A California company, Artisan Doll (Artisan Novelty Co.), introduced a attractive and collectible all hard plastic doll, a "walker" named "Raving Beauty" circa 1950. There is also a Miss Gadabout which I find hard to distinquish from the Raving Beauty. The hard plastic is of superior quality, sturdy and durable. A very pretty doll with a sweet rounded child like face and an open mouth exposing teeth and a tongue. Her hair is advertised as "Ravon" which can be shampooed and set. 20" tall, she commands admiration.
This walking doll had Wedding gowns, negligees, square dance dresses, cowgirl outfits, skating costumes, party and school dresses are just some of the clothing that could be acquired.
Referred to as a "walker", Raving Beauty is easily recognized because of her unusual wide spread legs with well concealed walking mechanism. Unlike the other walking dolls of this era, the legs on Raving Beauty fit close to her torso which does not hinder the dressing and undressing of the doll in any way.
