What is it about Wolf dolls? 04/09/2011
I don't seem able to resist this guy....  He's the Big Bad Wolf of Little Red Riding Hood fame, made by the Freundlich Company, an American firm which produced composition novelty dolls from 1929 until 1945, when the company filed for bankruptcy. The dolls are generally unmarked and were known more for their character than for high quality. Yet the charm endures. Here's an ad from the 1934 Sears Catalog selling the set:  And here's a pic of the set that recently sold on ebay for $533.00!  But my desires do not stop here... it was this little guy that got me started down this wolf path...  It's Loopy the Wolf! And the most adorable Steiff puppet I have seen. And he's only $75 :D The Problem is, once I start, where will it all end?? I can resist... I can resist... Add Comment | Who is this lady?
I was an AVID doll mother as a girl. I spent hours each day caring for my Thumbelina and Mama Kitten, and washing a little drink & wet doll & her clothing in the bathroom sink. ArchivesApril 2011 CategoriesAll |
