"
Cuddle Kewpie
",
doll by
Richard G. Krueger
, Inc., New York, circa 1929. With his bright
red,
(soft stuffed) chubby body with
molded wings,
shaped feet, mitt-type hands and peaked hat he makes a wonderful addition or start to your
Kewpie
collection. He has adorable, painted features with those big, side-glancing (googly) eyes with hi-lites, cute pug nose, tiny eyelashes and eyebrows, watermelon-shaped mouth and excellent cheek color. Here is one of famed artist, Rose O'Neill's, early cupid-like, illustrations in doll form as directed by her to be "
soft to the touch that would melt in your arms
". His full,
sewn-in cloth label
reads as follows: "KEWPIE"/Trade Mark Reg. U.S. Pat. Off./Pat. No.1,785,800 Copyright/Richard G. Krueger, Inc./New York/Sole Mfrs. & Distributors/ROSE O'NEILL/Made in U.S. A. He still wears his original,
red ribbon bow
around his neck and is very clean with no odors from a smoke free home (needs a bit of mending on the back of one hand where stuffing is visible). Originally purchased or given as gifts they were said to
bring good luck and love
and were often given as gifts to new babies (many of these dolls haven't survived all those years of love).
Other antique all bisque dolls
not included
