This Parsons-Jackson Company early Biskoline boy, circa 1910, is a little piece of American toy-making history. Advertised as a "Kant Krack Kid" the swivel-neck toddler is made of Biskoline, a unique moldable product. Features include a solid dome head with painted blue eyes and an open/closed mouth with painted front teeth and vivid pink lips and tongue.
On a jointed body in wonderful condition, he wears a classic original costume comprised of a belted tunic with sailor collar in blue gingham with coordinating britches in blue linen (both pieces are in strong condition save overall fading.) Cream stockings and oilcloth shoes complete his presentation. This example is a fairly uncommon find - from the doll collection at Gae Gardens.
Embossed with the Parsons-Jackson strok trademark on back of neck and, on middle back the acronym for Parsons-Jackson’s motto: (Kant Krack Kid) KKK, THE PARSONS JACKSON CO. CLEVELAND OHIO USA on lower back.
