U-Shab-Ti and Tut Pup?!


This rare and unusual Georgene Averill doll is dressed in Egyptian costume and is tagged! Love it when it's tagged! It is the same type doll listed in Polly Judd's Cloth Dolls book. Shown in the book is an advertisement from 1923 in Playthings magazine. This was all during the rage of anything Egyptian after the King Tut discovery......What's a Tut Pup?

  1. It's a toy. I guess a companion to the doll. I have one but have never seen another.
