My Funny Picture

Could anyone help me with getting info about a really old doll toy?

While moving stuff around my parents house, this toy from at least around the 1950's appeared. It is basically a circular baby walker for a doll. the legs (with 4 tiny black wheels) detatch from it like they would on some t.v. trays. Around the edge is an abacus sort of thing made of metal and wood balls (one red, green, yellow and purple ball for each section, which are marked off by 5 metal parts that hold up the metal ring off the walker). On the seat of it, it says "DOLLY-DEN" and "trade mark registered". Seat dangles from four white straps that hook onto small metal loops underneath the walker table. It seems to be made of the same sort of material the old-fashioned brown clipboards are made out of. It's painted a pale baby-pink, w/ pics of a bear, a rabbit, a duck, and a dog (each w/ a baby animal) painted on in pale blue color.The writting on the seat is in the same blue color and another pair of ducks painted above it.If any1 has any info about this, plz let me know.Thanks! : )

1. Take it to a museum, and talk to the curator, either he can give you a very good idea or he can send you so see the right folks. Asking any of us in this blog there is no way anyone can tell with out seeing it, I will tell you DO NOT CLEAN IT UP! You could very possibly damage it and remove some of its value. There is also no web site that can really help as they can't see it either.
2. it sounds like you found a walker for a doll...i don't know what doll though. it could just be a generic walker for baby dolls .back then.....not all dolls had themes like they do now. the beads are just toys to keep baby busy when in the walker. walkers back then were very primative not at all like they are now. it will have a value if in good shape.... sell it on e bay...but first try to find a doll form your parents house that might go with it. have fun
