Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A vintage mint green roly-poly toy with a baby face. The toy has a round body, a hooded head, and two small arms. The baby face has blue eyes, pink cheeks, and a red open mouth. The toy is a classic collectible.

This little charmer was discovered in an old cedar chest with a vintage christening dress. Maybe it was the dream of a young lady. Maybe it was forgotten? The time period was during the 1940’s.
This toy has two slight dents, see pics, but roly-polys very well. It was made in Occupied Japan, a time when American helped Japan recover after WWII.
Inside the bottom there is a rattle/bell that rings as it roly’s. It would delight any babe.
This is made of green celluloid, a forebearer of plastic. There is a small dent in the bottom front. After many hours of research, I have not found one like it. It is rare, indeed.
