   Cool – now i’ve seen my first kewpie doll !! 🙂

   Cellulose? Wow… for some reason i used to think they might be ‘flannel’ or made of cloth material?

   Thank you for improving my neglected education. 😉 🙂

      Some were made out of different material, but the ones I had were these cheap celluloid ones given as prizes in carnivals.(Not cellulose. I used the wrong word.)

         I was happy with cellulose! 😉

         (You are right though – they are different things!)

         Did any of yours last the distance? Or are they long gone? 😉

   What a memory! I often asked my parents if they would buy me one of these in the summers when we went to the circus that came to our small town. I remember the year that I finally got one!

      They were on a long stick and as I remember it, only available as prizes in the
      burst a balloon game or the nickel or ball toss.
