Sweet find of a vintage Kewpie (Flapper?) Thinker girl chalkware carnival prize. Loved her googly eyes, rosy cheeks and red lips! And, her black curly hairdo...just adorable! I tried to find information or examples of others and no luck. Appreciate any help.
She almost looks like an early betty boop, but doubt that!
hi... she does look like betty boop! with her updo...maybe be betty boop's cousin :)
FOUND ANOTHER one like this one but, she is looking the opposite way and in a bit more weathered in certain areas.
Super cool that it has written on bottom: DITCH DAY MAY 12 "32
Per some "ditch day" research: There is no generally agreed upon beginning to this unofficial tradition, but the practice has been in effect since at least the 1930s.
So these chalkware ladies are pretty old....
