| Object history | Ozen manufactured sound and movement mechanisms and supplied international doll manufactures. This doll is unlikely to have been actually made by Ozen but may have been produced for them and only used their mechanism. The use of magnets in the feet is unusual and the doll would have walked by placing a steel bar or other contraption under the feet. |
