24. Little Nemo
Background: “Little Nemo was a boy who never made a fuss about going to bed on time” begins the story of Nemo who rushed to bed each night so he could enter the wonderful dream world of his Slumberland. Little Nemo and his adventures came to life in an early comic strip first appearing in the New York Herald in 1905. Nemo (“no one” in Latin) was a lonely little boy whose life was made exciting by his dream adventures which abruptly ended each morning as he awoke.
The popularity of the comic strip is credited not only by its imaginative storylines, but also by the exceptional talent of its artist/ author Winsor McCay (1866?-1934). His fantastical artwork in Art Nouveau style was unique in its time, foreshadowing the later graphic styles of the Fleischer studios and Walt Disney’s feature films. McCay, is, in fact, named by some historians as the “greatest comic artist of all time”, a pioneer of animation as well as illustration.
In the story line, Little Nemo meets with a regular, yet ever expanding, cast or characters which included The Princess from the Candy Islands, Impy the black doll, Flip the Clown, and Dr. Pill. So popular was the comic strip that in true American spin-off fashion, it inspired
the creation of related merchandise, ranging from rolly-dollies to postcards to bisque figurines by Schafer and Vater. and toys such as a beanbag toss toy by Bliss and bell toys each featuring the characters from the story line.
Perhaps rarest of all this related “merch” was a set of composition dolls depicting the characters from the strip. Over the year, collectors have hinted at the existence of these dolls, but no one could find such a set.

Comments: Schoenhut, circa 1929, the wagon was created for the Peverly Dairy of St. Louis, a family of German immigrants who arrived in America about the same time as the Schoenhut German family arrived in Philadelphia, likely sharing some connections. As a promotion stunt in 1929 Peverly imported zebras to America to pull the firm’s milk wagons around St. Louis and it is likely they also commissioned Schoenhut to create the toy wagon for them, although, regretfully, apparently not with zebras.

architectural accents highlight the house all over.

Background: The houses were named “Mystery Dolls Houses” by Flora Gill Jacobs, owner of the Washington Dolls’ House and Toy Museum and author of several books about antique doll houses. Its earlier ownership is not known, but about 1966 it came into the possession of Jean Schramm, owner of the famous Enchanted Doll House of Manchester Center, Vermont, then passing into the collection of noted miniaturist Ann Meehan from 1988 until 2018, when it became a prized centerpiece in the collection of Dr. Robert Reyes of Laguna Woods, Ca. where it has resided, perfectly preserved until this day. According to Ann Meehan, noted dollhouse historian, who has seen about ten of these houses, each is different although of similar style of construction, and most were found to have originated in a small northern New England region near the Canadian border, although precise details are not known.
