I’m visiting my family in Metro-Detroit this week and my mom surprised me with an impromptu Craft & Antique Mall… and it was one of the most successful treasure-hunting trip in a very long time! All the information I have on this lovely man is “Carnival Prize Bulldog.” Complete with off-center airbrushing.
I’m so proud to have grown up in a place where people have such wonderful, weird taste. It must be because we have basements to put it all.

This guy has such a happy face. I love his hat.
I absolutely love these kind of carnival animals. I love the way the color is absorbed into the chalk.
Where does your family live in Detroit? Where did you go to high school? I’m a Mumford girl.

This is one of the happiest bulldogs I’ve ever seen! Happiest and some really bold color choices.
We’re from Dearborn/Livonia. I went to high school at Livonia Stevenson.

I sure hope you purchased this chalkware pooch! I was never a lucky person when it came to playing games at carnivals. This was when winning something at a carnival made the experience of winning pretty cool. I would have had a fit if they were giving away this stuff when I was hanging out at carnivals. Instead I would always win cheaply made stuffed animals and twisted, blown soda bottles.
This is really sweeeeeeeet!

I went back for this guy! He is really really good, and I may not be lucky to find somebody so expressive again. I’d have loved if carnivals had these kinds of prizes too. Cheap stuffed animals were what I had to compete for too, and since it wasn’t much of a prize I learned to keep my purse strings closed very tightly at fairs.

30’s-50’s celluloid kewpie dolls weren’t bad either.
Mooshe
Yes, but no because kewpie dolls are my clowns and spiders. They scare me soooo much.
