Replacement parts for 1950s-60s hard plastic dolls

[Ah.meelia]

Picked up a beautiful walker doll from the late 50s at an estate sale, but she's missing an arm and I've spent weeks trying to source a replacement limb and I'm starting to think it doesn't exist. My usual repair person basically told me parts for hard plastic and vinyl dolls from this era are nearly impossible to find. The heads aren't even designed to be opened for eye repairs, apparently and that's just sad because I've had better luck finding parts for my antique bisque dolls than for something only 70 years old.
Has anyone had success tracking down replacement limbs for unmarked 1950s walkers? or am I better off just displaying her as is? also dont know if attempting a repair would tank her value anyway, since I keep reading that extensive restoration can drop value by 25 to 50%.
The sentimental side of me wants to make her whole again, but the collector side is worried about making the wrong call. What would you do?

Before you give up, have you checked the Doll Show dealers, specifically the ones who sell parts and clothes?
They often have tubs of random limbs, sometimes unmarked but from that era, and you might get lucky.
Also try searching Etsy for vintage doll parts lot or hard plastic doll limbs.
Sometimes a part you need pops up in a junk lot!!
As for value, I think a good, subtle repair is almost always better than a missing arm, especially since a clean break won't count as extensive restoration that tanks the value like a full repaint would.

parts for unmarked 50s walkers are nearly impossible and look, sorry to say but her value is already tanked from the missing arm anyway, so restoration won't hurt much more. If you love her, fix her, she's worth more to you than the collector market anyway
