So my grandmother (God bless her) decided to throw away some of my favorite toys of all time. This particular one was about 1.5 feet high and 1.5 feet long (these measurements may not be correct because I have not seen the poodle in over 5 years now), , really stiffly stuffed, stand up on its own, and was a poodle. It was my father's. He was born in 1949, so it was most likely made in the 50s. I CANNOT find a picture of this toy. I cannot find anything that tells me about this toy. I don't know who it was made by. But I would LOVE to find a picture of it and possibly find one again.
It greatly resembled both the Steiff poodle but steiff never made a blue poodle. I don't believe it had glass eyes, and I KNOW it had the little red tongue pictured on the white poodle. I do not know that it was actually jointed, but it was definitely in a standing position and you could sort of maneuver it to sit down. However, I cannot find any other 1950s manufacturers with poodles of this look (except Steiff and Jee Bee. Steiff never made a "blue" poodle. and Jee Bee's face is all wrong)
Anyone know where to go from here? Suggestions? Have you ever seen one? Do you have one?
Thanks in advance
To give a guide:
Steiff Poodle - it looked almost identical to this.
Except it was this color:
or maybe just a hint greener than that blue.
Another dog that looked similar, a "Jee Bee" (except for the face / googly eyes )
