    Description

    This Kewpie belonged to an old friend and was part of her estate. It has been packed away for decades with other items, and just recently saw the light of day. She is just shy of 13" tall, and I was advised by a collector that she is chalkware, and most likely manufactured in Germany. What makes this Kewpie outstanding are the two labels still in place. Someone taped her arms to hold in place, as the elastic has been stretched out. The tape on one arm has loosened and the other is still there, but not real secure. Also, please note that the wings are NOT blue, but nude, and I was told this would not decrease her value. Rose wanted every little girl to be able to have a Kewpie, and made them affordable for all. Please see pics for greater detail, and I will be happy to send more if needed.
