Peggy's ad reads: "In order to make Peggy walk, stand in back of her, holding her by the shoulder as you would a baby learning to walk.  With her feet on the floor, keep her erect and then walk gently behind her, giving a light push.  You will see her make forward steps, just like a baby.  To make Peggy cry, first hold her face downward and then tilt her over her back".  Doll also came in all hard plastic, probably sold in the 1950s.
