Description :
Vintage 1950s Knickerbocker "Kuddle Kewpie" Musical Wind-Up Plush Doll Manufacturer: Knickerbocker Toy Co. in collaboration with Cameo Doll Co. Design Credit: Original design and copyright by Rose O'Neill Condition: Exceptional, Collector-Grade Vintage Condition Amazing example of the highly sought-after 1950s Knickerbocker "Kuddle Kewpie" doll with a built-in musical wind-up mechanism. This is the rarer musical variant, complete with its original winding key firmly attached on the lower back. This particular piece has been meticulously preserved and showcases remarkable condition details: • Very Nice Vinyl Face: The molded rubber/vinyl face is exceptionally clean with vibrant, original painted details. The classic side-glancing googly eyes, delicate eyelashes, and impish red smile show no signs of paint rubbing or scuffing. • Vibrant Fabric & Trim: The high-pile red plush body remains remarkably bright, soft, and fluffy, with no matting, balding, or staining. The iconic red-and-white striped knit nightcap and matching fringed scarf are entirely intact, including the original plush red yarn pom-pom. • Dual Original Legible Tags: A massive bonus for collectors, both original cloth tush tags are fully present and cleanly legible. The front tag proudly displays the "Joy of a Toy - Knickerbocker Toy Company, New York, U.S.A." logo, while the reverse side confirms the official "Kewpie - Designed & Copyright by Rose O'Neill, Cameo Doll Co." provenance. Whether you are looking to elevate an established Kewpie collection or add a standout mid-century piece to your vintage toy display, this beautifully preserved musical treasure is ready for center stage.
