Question by Misty B: Need to know if baby doll is vintage Ideal toy corp?
she is marked with OBW-20-F on head And BW-20 on body have pictures!
Best answer:
Answer by suzanne aB-28 Is a Suzi Play Pal (Can Be rare ) which is 28 inches tall from 1959. So my guess without pictures she is a Suzi Play Pal that is 20 inches tall, is she a walker, and a toddler or a baby. Sometimes people refer to any doll as a baby doll. So It would be great if you could add some pictures, Then I can double check her in my book on Ideal dolls for you.
She could also be a Playtex Dryper Baby 1959.

I Have a Vintage 30″ tall Charlie McCarthy ventriloquist doll and he keeps falling over, I would like to find a doll chair for him so he may better be displayed.
