Up for sale is an incredibly rare and highly sought-after vintage 1950s anthropomorphic plush pig manufactured by the famous Rushton Company (Star Creation) out of Atlanta, Georgia. Known to mid-century kitsch collectors as the "Squealy" or "Porky" style pig, this doll features the iconic molded vinyl/rubber face and the incredibly unique exposed rubber belly with a molded belly button.
Rushton items with the exposed belly design are highly collectible and rarely surface on the market!Condition Details:
Please review all photos carefully as they serve as the primary description of the item's vintage condition:
Rubber Face & Belly: In beautiful vintage shape! The facial paint is exceptionally bright and crisp with vibrant blue eyes, long eyelashes, and deep red mouth paint. The rubber remains pliable and is free of dry rot. There is a minor white scuff/scratch on the lower left side of the belly (visible in photos).
Plush Fur: The pink plush body is structurally intact. As is typical with these 70+ year-old toys, there is some vintage discoloration/color transfer (a blue-greenish tint) on the plush hands, feet, and the edge of the hood from long-term storage, along with minor matting.
Tags: The original cloth manufacturer tag is no longer present.
This is a spectacular, hard-to-find piece of mid-century Americana that will make a crowning addition to any vintage toy, plush, or pastel kitsch collection.
