This company also designed other famous, wood segmented character dolls such as, Betty Boop, Jeep, Pete the Pup, General Electric Bandy, Joy, King Little and many others. He has multiple joints and features the original advertising labels on both the front and back of his jacket as well as on his tall, gold radiotron -shaped (radio tube) helme t. Due to his age and use there is paint crazing but no damages or missing segments. There are no cracks, chips or broken parts. He's featured on the cover and on page 126 of, "Hake's Guide to Advertising Collectibles: 100 Years of Advertising from 100 Famous Companies"-Ted Hake and will make a terrific addition to any advertising doll collection.
