RCA Victor Papier-Mâché Nipper Dog Old King Cole - An authentic vintage papier-mâché store display figure of ”Nipper,” the iconic mascot for the Victor Talking Machine Company and RCA Victor, manufactured by the Old King Cole Specialty Company in Canton, Ohio. Crafted in hollow molded papier-mâché with its original factory-painted surface, the figure depicts Nipper sitting attentive with signature dark ear patches, detailed eyes, and a molded black collar with raised brass-tone studs. The underside of the front paw retains the clear gold, crown-crested ”Old King Cole / Canton, Ohio, U.S.A.” maker's decal. The piece displays in very good overall condition with strong original paint, showing honest age-appropriate wear including paint flaking along the lower edges and open base, along with superficial stress cracking along the front legs and rear leg joinery while remaining structurally sound. H 14.25”, W 7”, D 13”. Please see photos for condition.
