Plastic Pluto-Like Magnetic Dog Magnet Hotdog On Ring J.V.Z. Co.
This is another one that made me smile, so I had to bring it home from a local shop. I have discovered since, that the magnetic hotdog ring (kid would wear the ring to make dog move head and open mouth) is usually missing whenever these are found. I guess that I was very fortunate with this one. He really does resemble Pluto. Does anyone know when he was manufactured?
hello! i found one at antique shop today! my doggie has a hotdog on a string that attaches to his collar.
went hunting for info. looks like it is a Chex cereal toy from the 1950s. you would mail away for this cute prize puppy!!!
Walt disney introduced Mickey mouse around 1928, I would think Pluto was Introduced sometime after that, Possibly early to mid 1930's.... I own a Wood Pluto and dog house with original box, made in the late 1930's, So it has to be sometime before that...
munequita, Thank you for the info!!!
