Description
15" (38 cm.) with hat. Firmly stuffed all-cloth twill with large side-glancing decal eyes, felt beak and boots, and wearing a green felt parade jacket with brass buttons (one button missing), black "fur" parade hat and carrying wooden baton. Very good condition, light dustiness. American, attributed to Knickerbocker, late 1930s. Shirley Temple's interest in the world of Disney would have been reinforced with this character, introduced about the same time as her parade marching performances in both "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "Dimples". Donald Duck appears in a photograph of her early doll collection.
