Description: "FOXY GRANDPA" CLOTH ADVERTISING DOLL - Approx. 1900 - 1910 The Art Fabric Mills Co. Approx. 12" x 17" x 3". Color litho on fabric. This large toy/doll features FOXY GRANDPA, one of the earliest comic strip characters. These dolls were sold in printed cloth sheets to be cut out, sewn and stuffed with cotton. They were also a 1904 cereal mail premium offered by the Malted Cereal Company (advertised for 25 cents). Foxy Grandpa was the main character of a newspaper comic strip at the turn of the 20th Century by cartoonist Carl Edward Schultze. He holds "Bunny", a rabbit named after the nickname of his creator. Near his other hand is a Masonic watch. This example is neatly stitched with original padding. For added support, the sewer added two wood supports inside legs to reinforce lower extremities. A highly graphic & scarce Foxy Grandpa display with excellent eye appeal. Condition is considered GOOD to FAIR with moderate surface/stain/edge wear. Moderate litho fading with very minor seam separation. One minor fabric split on upper vest area. Imagery is still bold and very attractive. Overall, being well over 100 years old, we feel this is very displayable example by most standards (see photos). Great for the discriminating FOXY GRANDPA, ADVERTISING MAIL PREMIUM and/or VINTAGE TOY & DOLL enthusiast. On a condition code scale of 1 to 10, the above listed items are rated (7-6). U.S.A.
