This toy dog is called a Puppy Pippin. It was manufactured by Horsman in 1911. It is in all original condition. The velvet covered body is fully jointed. There is slight darkening and a bit of crazing to the head which I believe is composition. There is some paint loss to the eyes and nose. This is a rare survivor!
