Edward Mobley, was originally a designer for the Sun Rubber Company.
He left them and Went to work for Arrow Rubber and Plastics Corp.
Soon Arrow Rubber had become part of our household
and the little shelf where I kept them was filling up fast.

Arrow rubber also used a variety of colors all hand painted with non-toxic colors
Each little face made me swoon.
and each new color was a treat.

| Stripes the Purr-r-ific Tiger They came in different sizes, I was completely hooked at this point. I Loved all my little squeaks. I wanted to know everything I could. There isnt very much information on them or the companies that made them. I wanted to know what names they where given originally. I wanted to know all about variants. Im still collecting and still learning. |

DeleteIt means "little cushion" or "little pad", but I think he was named after an oldvfashioned slang that means "dandy"... because he is sooo cute... I bought one this year, I'm in love with him!
ReplyDeleteI've just seen your Flickr page, and I am having a fit! WONDERFUL!
