Notice the Resemblance

Now this little doll is what  we call evia. This is my favorite nickname for Evie grandpa berntsen aka grampy gave her this nickname and it has stuck with her ever since. We call her kewpie doll as this next picture demonstrates the resemblance between doll and the real baby doll.

Here are some interesting facts about these dolls Kewpie Dolls (occasionally spelled cupie) and figurines are based on comical strip-like illustrations by Rose O'Neil that appeared in Ladies home journal in 1909. The small dolls were extremely popular in the early 1900s. They were first produced in Germany, then famous for its toy-manufacturers. They were made out of bisque and then celluloid. In 1949,Effanbee created the first hard Plastic versions.
Their name, often shortened to "Kewpies", is derived from "Cupid", the Roman god of beauty and non-platonic love. The early dolls, especially signed or bisque, are highly collectible and worth thousands of dollars.
