Searching – Vintage KOREA United Feature Syndicate SNOOPY Without PATCH on TUSH Top Priority
We’re looking for a late 70′s or early 80′s, and possibly even older, firmly stuffed Snoopy. The tag says ©1968 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC. PRODUCT OF KOREA REG. NOS. PA219-CA16113 ALL NEW MATERIALS CONTENT:KAPOK SHREDDED CLIPPINGS. It does NOT have the Snoopy patch on the tush. He is between 12 and 13 inches, although he is probably deflated and elongated from wear and his fur is certainly nappy from love.
We’re trying to find a backup for a friend of ours for her little boy. He has a brain tumor and is a precious child. The Snoopy was his Mama’s, but he has taken it over. She says that it is his Snoopy, and not Mama and Daddy, who comforts him when he feels bad or gets a booboo.
With all the doctor and hospital trips this little fellow has to make, it would give his Mama and Daddy a little piece of mind to know they had a backup already in hand.
We found item 250874418408 on eBay that she says is very close, and she’s considering getting it, even though it is not the correct one.
Thanks,
Rosemary

Searching – 70′s SMALL WHITE Seated WINDUP POODLE Plays FRERE JACQUES – HEAD MOVES
THE POODLE IN THE PHOTO IS NOT THE CORRECT VERSION.
Sabra writes: After seeing this Eden poodle, I realize now that this is a more recent version of the one I had, which probably was manufactured sometime between 1969 and 1972. Mine had black pom-poms as eyes, a larger one for a nose, white pom-poms on its cheeks, longer white fur on its ruff and the top of its head than the rest of its body, and it was seated the way a dog actually sits and not with its paws up. It was such a well-loved dog, though, that all of its fur except for its ruff was gone, and that which was left had turned gray.
These stuffed animals were well made structurally, but their fur wasn’t well crafted. As the stuffed animal aged (quickly), the fur fell out. Considering this, I doubt that many Eden poodles like the one I had are around. Most probably were thrown out decades ago, which is a shame since the pattern to make new ones with better fur could be derived from the original.
Sometime between 1969-1972, a manufacturer (not sure which one) released a white poodle stuffed animal that was named Bon Bon. It was seated, maybe 6 to 8 inches tall. It was embedded with a music box that, when wound, played Frere Jacques, and the poodle rotated its head slowly.
I had pasted on a new nose since it had lost all of its pom-poms except for its original eyes while I was still small, and I had sewn on (when I was about 10) some white acrylic fur scraps to cover the gray ruff and head because my mother was threatening to throw out the dog, which she said was “a mess.”
I had the dog until I went away to college, when my father cleared out my room because he wanted to make a second office for himself. I’d love to find one, not to reproduce the pattern, but just to have something I once loved so much all over again.
Thanks,
Sabra

Searching – 70′s? BLACK & WHITE RACCOON Windup BRAHMS LULLABY
Brian is still looking for this musical raccoon.
I am looking for a 70′s, maybe 80′s, stuffed musical black and white raccoon that played Brahms Lullaby (musical box inside butt with music crank key in the rear). It was mine as a child and it was horribly ruined!
I have a son now, and I recently received a musical jewelry box for Christmas that made me think of my most favorite and loved toy. The raccoon and any photos we might have had of him were lost in the Perry Creek flood of Sioux City in 1990.
I would love for my son to share the same memories to fall asleep to. Finding it would make my heart fly!!!

Searching – 70′s Easter Pets Pair HUGGING RABBITS – 1 ORANGE 1 BROWN
I’m looking for a pair of plush hugging bunnies (one orange, one brown) dating from approximately the late 1970s (up to possibly 1980). I don’t recall their exact height but would guess about 7-8 inches or so from the bottom to the base of their upright ears.
They are apparently the “Easter-Pets” brand made by Easter Unlimited. I’d really like to find them again, since the originals were an Easter gift from my mom when I was a kid.
If anyone knows where I can locate these guys, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your help!

Searching – RUSS? 70′s WINSTON & DOOBIE Beige DOGS and 80′s Standing 10″ WHITE LAMB
Rex says the lamb in this photo is something like his, but his had closer cropped hair and the eyes were glass buds. No tongue was visible and the legs were thin but stiff. The Lamb – who had no tag and went by Lammie as far as I was concerned – was a little white lamb with blue eyes and mine kind of twisted a little so the legs didn’t quite line up. The lamb would be from 1983-5, and had short, nappy, white hair.
Thanks to one of our Fabulous Finders we now have a photo of Winston and of Dooby, and the dogs have been found.
I am looking for two dogs and a lamb from my childhood. These were my favorite – not that we like to have favorites – friends growing up. The dogs were my mum’s before they were mine and would have been from the late 70′s.
When I was 17 my step-father threw them out by accident. The two dogs, Winston and Doobie, had tags that read as much, and they were off-white or beige and had heads that were as long as the rest of them. Doobie was the little one. Sorry, but I don’t think I have any photos.
When I get sad I miss them very much to this day, and if someone could help me it would mean a tremendous amount to me to have my old friends around.

Searching – 70′s Mattel NAPPER TALKING DOG
We have a mailing list of people looking for this dog from their childhood.
I’m looking for a late 70′s Napper the talking dog made by Mattel that is still in working condition. He would say phrases such as ”I’m lonely”, ”Ruff, Ruff, Ruff”, and some others.
He was my favorite childhood toy. Mine stopped talking years ago, and I would give anything to hear him again! I am looking to buy one and then switch the voice box, so it must be in good working condition.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Searching – 70′s PULL STRING TALKING RUFUS LION
We now have a mailing list of people looking for Rufus.
I’m looking for a talking Rufus the Lion. He was made in the 70′s and had a pull string to talk. He was kind of a yellowish brown, had a pull string at the back of his neck, an outie belly button, round, flat black plastic eyes with white felt behind them, and a bushy mane.
I got Rufus when I was really young, maybe 6 or 7. I came from a VERY dysfunctional family. My father beat my mother and was abusive to both me and my sister. All I had to hold on to back then was my Rufus the lion. He was my sanctuary. My friend.
I had him until I was about 19 or so. I had to move a lot as I was really poor and stayed with a lot of people, because I couldn’t afford much more. Somewhere he was lost. He’s as much a part of my life as anything I can remember.
I have 1,000s of bad memories but every good one had Rufus in it. To this day I cannot say I don’t still miss him terribly. I know I will never have my Rufus, but I want to bring him back to my life even through another. I think for me it will close a lot of bad chapters in my life.
It sounds silly being 43 and still wanting him, but it’s true. I have gone to 100′s of swap meets looking through untold thousands of boxes of old stuffed animals looking for him. I have posted on the internet and finally got a photo at least from a lady who was as attached to him as was I. She wouldn’t sell him at any cost. I will never stop looking for him so long as I am able. I have written and called Mattel in the hopes that they would help. They can’t help.
My wife is asking me why I am crying, as I try to explain how much he means to me…words can’t even go there. She cannot understand the feelings that I have for Rufus even if he isn’t the original. He means more to me than just about anything in the world. I want to be reunited with him, so I can hopefully begin to get past that which happened so many years ago.
Please help me to find him!
Thanks,
Steve

FOUND – 60′s SMALL BLUE SLEEPING DOG
We weren’t able to find the dog that Kelley had as a child, but Susan was able to create one for her. She writes, “IT’S PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! That’s my blue dog. I LOVE HIM. I can’t tell you what this does for me. “
I’m looking for a small stuffed blue dog from the late 60′s/early 70′s. It was taken away from me as a small child by my abusive “mother”. When I was older, a girl down the street had one. I bought it from her, but when I got “caught” with it, I was forced to return it.
It is almost identical to the one in the photo, but fully stuffed, and there’s no zipper. I got it when I was one year old, which I hate to say was in 1968. The eyes and “fur” are the same.
If you help me find this it would fix a hole in my heart. Sounds silly, as I’m in my 40′s and a Mom myself, but it’s just something I’ve never gotten over.
Here’s the actual dog Kelley has been looking for. She’s bidding on it now, thanks to a wonderful Fabulous Finder who located it even though she was happy with the replica that Susan made. I’m so tickled that the replica is so close to the original!

FOUND – 70′s PLUSH YELLOW WINDUP DUCK
I’m looking for a replacement of my late 1970′s plush yellow windup duck. I used to have it for years ever since I was a toddler. The duck did not come with a hat or watch.
It used to be a windup duck, but that broke a long, long time ago. Back in 2000 I had to go to the hospital. I was a patient there, and I accidentally left my duck wrapped up in a sheet, because I thought I’d be back in that room again. But I was not.
I want a new or yes even used plush windup duck. If anyone knows where I can find a replacement of it please let me know.
Thanks,Judy

Searching 18 Years – Burned Yellow Musical Pony Top Priority
Ruth Ann is still looking for this pony. She salvaged from a fire one rather fuzzy picture where he is off to the side amongst other stuff animals.
I enhanced the pony with photo editing software, so this is only an attempt to show what he looked like.
Hello Dirty Butter,
I am desperately searching for a childhood stuffed toy. It is a wind-up musical baby toy, and I *think* it is from Gund, but that is only a vague memory.
He was a yellow pony with a white under-belly and pinkish feet/snout. He had black eyes (not of cloth material) and his nostrils were just yarn stitched on. He had a yarn like tail and yarn mane as well. The small silver wind up mechanism was on his side, and it played “It’s a Small Small World”.
I was born in 1983 and always remember having the toy. I would assume then it is from the late 70′s or early 80′s, but it may be earlier (handed down from a relative). It was destroyed in a fire in 1997, and I’ve been looking since the day of the fire. In 2007, that will be 10 years of desperate searching and late nights on the internet.
Ruth Ann says that this giraffe is pretty close, but hers didn’t have the saddle like that and had a white underbelly. It also didn’t have blue eyes; however, that one plays It’s a Small World, so she wonders if they made it differently depending on the year.
Can you help me please? It is more important than words can express that I find this.
Thanks,
Ruth Ann

Maybe the only help you can give her is to put a post on your blog, linking to this one, so more people will read her request.

FOUND – 1977 GUND WHITE LAMB Peach Face
This lamb is about 17 inches long, with white body and peach face, feet and ears. I purchased one for my oldest daughter in 1977, and she loved it. Problem was, her 4-year-old-brother would take it every day while she was at school. Eventually it became “his” lamb.
Then daughter #2 was born and she adopted “Lambie” as soon as she could walk. The lamb is now in tatters, and my goal is to find one of these Gund lambs for each of them, (now all adults) as they still talk about their attachments to her. Must be in excellent condition so they each feel they have a new “Lambie.”If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate YOU. Plus, I’m ready to give a reward to anyone who can help me find one or more.
Thank you,
Renee

FOUND But Still Searching – 70′s Eden YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE YELLOW ELEPHANT – Head Moves
We were able to help Kristin find an elephant, but we still have a mailing list of people looking for the yellow and also for the blue version of this elephant.
I am trying to find one of the vintage 70′s Eden elephants in yellow with pink ears and nose that plays “You Are My Sunshine”. Its head rotated, and it had a wind up music box inside. It stood about five inches tall.
I am 41 years old and this got misplaced about ten years ago, and I have been devastated ever since. Just seeing the picture of him makes me smile, and I would love to have him in my arms again, softly reminding me how sweet and innocent the world once was.
Please, please, please let me know if you come across one of these. I miss him… I would love my daughter to see him, too.
Thank you!

Searching – 70′s WHITE & BROWN MONKEY SUCKS THUMB
I am looking for a stuffed white monkey with plastic dark brown face, hands, ears and feet that can suck on his thumb or toe. His mouth has a pink circle for the lips. I would say he was about 12 inches long. He would be from the 1970’s.
He was my sister’s monkey, and when I was born I took him over, and we fought over him – that is until she ripped him apart. I have wanted another one for a very long time.
All I have is a picture of me holding him. Please help!!!

Searching – 70′s Mattel NAPPER TAN TALKING DOG
We have a mailing list of people looking for this dog from their childhood.
I had one of these dogs. I was born in 1979 and was told I got him when I was born. I called him “Snapper”, I guess because when he said, “My name is Napper,” it sounded like “Snapper” to me. I had to have him with me all the time. I couldn’t sleep without him. As I got older his voice box broke, and my mom tried to find a replacement everywhere. One time when I was at school my dad took out his broken parts. When I came home I freaked out, dug all the broken parts out of the trash, put them back in and sewed him up. I was already in Junior High when this happened. When I went away to college I still slept with him.
My boyfriend made fun of me and told me I needed to “Grow up and put that old thing away.” I sadly put him away. We got married (because I got pregnant) and quickly divorced. I moved out, but couldn’t take the hope chest. When I came for it, he had sabotaged me by taking and destroying many important things to me, including “Snapper”.
I am in tears right now just finding a picture of him. I would do anything to have him back, but if there was a way to get one at all I would love for someone to let me know.
Thanks and good luck to all you other lovers of “Napper”.

Searching – 1978 DAKIN TAN & WHITE? BEAR – Not Cuddles
I’m looking for my childhood bear. Some tips on him~his tag is located on HIS left leg. His tag is the old green writing with orange trim around the tag. It says R. Dakin & Co. 1978. I got him in 1980; so he was available then. He measures approximately 18 inches tall. From the old picture I have from when I was 2 years old, his ears, snout, and paws on hands and feet are a lighter color (maybe even white), and the rest of his fur is or at least now is a beige color. He is NOT cuddles the bear. I have done some searching myself and come across a lot of those and it just isn’t the right one.
I have been looking on and off over the past 15+ years for a newer condition one. NO bear will replace my teddy; however I know my teddy has been through soooooooooo much! I remember as a child around the age of 4 or so that we had a kiddy pool, and I decided teddy wanted to go for a swim. He has also gotten into the bathtub with me as a child and has lost a lot of his hair and has had many surgeries! My grandmother stitched him up several times, and I vividly remember her running out of “fluff”, so she used her old knee highs in teddy’s surgery! Teddy is SUPER special. My grandmother passed away when I was 15.
I have had this teddy since I was born. My dad purchased this teddy in the hospital gift shop. From what I have been told, my parents were very strapped for cash, and he used his last bit of money to have this bear for me in my hospital crib. Teddy came home with me from the hospital and has been with me for the past 31yrs!
Now that I have children, they are aware of teddy and my oldest begs to sleep with him, because she knows how special he is. He has so many holes in him that teddy now stays at the top of my closet to keep him from getting any more damage than he already has. I will never replace this teddy; however I have a picture of him when I was 2~holding him and he was so floppy and soft looking.
I would love to find one that has not been through what all I put this one through, so I could give him to my daughters and to see what he actually should look like! Please let me know if you can help!
Thanks,
Rebecca
