This item was identified by Ryan C. La Fleur from Chicago, Illinois.
According to the Christie's Catalogue, this is:
LOT 298 - NAOMI WILDMAN'S FLOTTER T. WATER DOLL
A blue doll with irridescent clothing and blue-painted foam latex head -- 24in. Long -- made for Naomi Wildman in
"Once Upon A Time"
in Star Trek: Voyager
Estimate:
$100-150
Ryan was the first to identify this item correctly, but almost everyone that entered recognized "Flotter" as Naomi's doll. Well done, everyone! There were some interesting variations on the character's name, like "Flubber" and "Floater" and "Flodder."
A few highlights from the hundreds of correct entries: Ross Vincent from Arlington, Texas was the first to point out that Flotter was also seen in the episode "Bliss". Rudyard Ramirez from Lubz, Germany mentioned the series "The Adventures of Flotter" and the story "Flotter and the Fire Ogre" in his description. Josh Schomp from Farwell, Michigan gave his description complete with links to key items at Wikipedia.
