Ruby is a Battery Operated Walking Dachshund who sadly has no manufacture date. I take a guess at 50s-60s judging by similar models I've found doing searches on the net.
She was given to me by my aunt when I was little and was one of my aunt's toys she had when growing up. Sadly my aunt passed away some years ago so I can't ask her about the history of this toy. Ruby takes massive size D batteries! These don't seem to be used much these days, or at least I haven't encountered them but were used a lot in older toys.
"Remote controlled" toys, like VCRs and the old TVs had the remote wired into the toy and the circuit board on her is a simple one. Even though she doesn't bark anymore, I'm happy to have kept her in such good working order.
