Apparently cute little chalk ware figurines, rather then stuffed animals, used to be the standard prize at Carnivals. Now they are a popular collectable. Here are some of the ones available on etsy.
The every popular Rin Tin Tin available for $30.00 (link)
A basset hound in very good condition for $15.00 (link)
An absolutely adorable bulldog with a pipe (this one tempts me sorely)

A super cute pug link
Wouldn't it have been neat to go to a carnival in the thirties and win this little guy! If only

ReplyDeleteWe've never heard of that, thank you for educating us! :)
Hmmm, I'm sure my Gran had some of those - they are probably worth a fortune now, ghaaaaaa!!

Wow, over here it use to be carnival glass. Yes that too is very collectible. Before that in the mists of times were Fairings a cheap pottery object that also has become collectible. What fun. Have a super Saturday.

I actually have a small collection of those! I was planning on putting them on the blog soon! I have a few dogs and squirrels
ReplyDeleteUm, I *adore* the pug with a mustache.. He's precious.
ReplyDeleteIt was dog food. Beef livers with onions in a can. You open it up and it looks like vomit.
