Captain Kid Jr.

 

This is a black and white copy of a Laura Brock paper doll from the newspaper Junior Ledge Page date Sunday August 6 1933.  Many times when I have purchased lots or collections the collector includes copies of the items they are missing.  The page is a white color instead of the yellowed newspaper print paper. The text reads "Captain Kidd Jr. Pirates have gone out of style on the high seas so the little fellow may be excused for not looking very fierece but dress him up in the uniform and he will look like a real descendant of the famous sea rover who unfurled the Jolly Rover on the Spanish Main in search of luckless ships bearing jewels, pieces-of-eight and other treasure.  We fear he will not have much luck however, with the 'pirate ship' he has in his hands.  Copyright 1933 LA times."  The baby/toddler has one pirate outfit and hat.
