I have the same doll. It was my grandmother's doll. The full name is j.l. schilling company. Mine makes noises as well, but i have no idea what it's saying. Any idea what the doll is worth?

Hi, Stephanie,
Did you get any info? I have a similar doll, voice unit is in the back. She's 21 inches tall, cloth body, plastic extremities and head. It is my doll but I have NO info on it and would love to at least know the manufacturer. There is not much on the internet that I can find. When she worked she said, "Up, Mommy, pick me up." And then there was a cooing noise. Now, it can't be wound up tight enough to activate the record. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hey Chaz - Thanks for the help. Do you have a jpeg of the ad that you could post? Do you know what year the ad was from? I'm not even sure what year the doll was made.

I have the same doll with the patent number 1998149 and I can't seem to find any information on this doll. Does anyone have any idea what the dolls name is or what the worth of the doll is? I've searched high and low and can't find any dolls remotely similiar to this one. My doll has the phongraph system in the front of the stomach. If anyone has any information this would be greatly appreciated.

I have a doll like this! She is from early 1950's most likely 52 or 53. Phonograph in front center with metal circle 4 inches across. When wound would say Up Mommy, pick me up! Then the cooing sounds for a few seconds. The Patent # on label is 1998149 and says Warner &.... New York. My doll is about 21 inches, cloth body and plastic arms and legs. The head is hard (plastic?) with blue eyes that open. She was a Christmas present to me as a child.
