Comments on: The First New–Sort of–Scrappy Toy in, Oh, 70+ Years http://harrymccracken.com/blog/2010/02/19/the-first-new-sort-of-scrappy-toy-in-oh-70-years/ Harry McCracken's blog Sun, 18 Mar 2012 03:51:58 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Robert Watrous http://harrymccracken.com/blog/2010/02/19/the-first-new-sort-of-scrappy-toy-in-oh-70-years/comment-page-1/#comment-47007 Robert Watrous Fri, 20 May 2011 01:09:56 +0000 http://harrymccracken.com/blog/?p=467#comment-47007 Very well done Harry. Why didn't you put this note on the Scrappy web site? Was the color too well, colorful? The original Gong Bell Scrappy you have which is from 1936 or thereabouts, is quite nice. It looks like Margie just got that hula skirt off the rack. I'm glad you bought one and put them side by side for the photo. It saves me from having to do the same. If you don't mind, I'll put a link to your note on the article I wrote about these reproductions on my web site: http://belltoys.ning.com/ I've seen many of these reproductions on ebay, often touted as originals. Sometimes the sellers have been fooled by these. I try to email every seller to let them know. It's quite amazing to think that these were being sold at the Walt Disney store. The same company that made this reproduction made many other reproductions of popular Gong Bell, N.N. Hill and Fisher Price pull toys. It's unfortunate that many beginner collectors get suckered in by these. I hope Sony grants your wish. Life is good, Bob Watrous rain, if you want one contact me. I think I have an extra one. Very well done Harry. Why didn’t you put this note on the Scrappy web site? Was the color too well, colorful?
