(Unknown, 1930s/40s) An extremely rare mohair and felt Big Bad Wolf doll with a hand-painted face and glass eyes. The doll has a hard-stuffed body, a head that swivels, and floppy arms and legs. It is difficult to appreciate from today’s perspective how big a cultural phenomenon “The Three Little Pigs” was when that Silly Symphony cartoon was first released in 1933. The cartoon was so popular that Pig and Wolf merchandise filled the stores, and theaters displayed cutouts of the Pigs out front with beards that grew longer for each week the cartoon played. Measuring 20” tall, the doll is in good condition with light soiling and wear from age. A very unusual and good-quality doll.
