Black History Month; Cotton Joe


This is Cotton Joe from the collection of member Myrna Loesch. He was made by the Horsman Company from 1910 to 1916. Joe is 10 inches tall with a "Can't Break Em" composition brown head with painted features, hard stuffed tan cloth body, and olive cloth legs. He came wearing a red or striped shirt with brown or khaki suspender pants; some may have had a straw hat and was one of the original American Kids in Toyland series. This example has replaced clothes and repainted facial features.
