Foxy Grandpa
Foxy Grandpa is a stuffed doll made for my Grandmother by my Great Grandmother in 1901. Foxy Grandpa and his mate, Daisy, were passed on to my mother when she was a little girl. Sadly, Daisy was lost in 1933 when she was thrown out of a car window by my mother's cousin when the family was out driving. They went back to look for Daisy but she was never retrieved. We can only hope that she was recovered and cherished by another child.
According to Wikipedia, the character of Foxy Grandpa appeared in newspaper comics in the early 1900's. He was illustrated by Carl E. Schultze who used his nickname "Bunny" on his work. I have not been able to locate any reference to a Daisy doll and do not know what she may have looked like, or even if she was connected with the comic strip. A character by the name of Daisy Deane is listed in a 1902 broadway musical comedy about Foxy Grandpa.
