another fun blog post shared by Kathy M. recently inspired me to share a few snaps of something she found in her vintage and weird object travels that I have one of (though not the cats in her post, I wish, that clowder is so adorable, Kathy!).

if anyone was curious to see more of "Miss Curity" shown toward the end of Kathy's blog post, mine does not have a base and is in much rougher shape (and I did clean it up before snapping pics) but I got it inexpensively, spontaneous online auction purchase (or are they all spontaneous...?).

Miss Curity info / text pasted below was found from this web link: advertisingiconmuseum.com/inside/c11/3519092.html


"Miss Curity
Year: 1955
19" vinyl
Company: Kendall/Curity Company

Miss Curity is the "First Lady of First Aid." She has helped the Kendall Corporation market its line of first-aid supplies for more than half a century. She's also been a role model for two generations of nurse wanna-be's.

The earliest Miss Curity dolls were made by Ideal, and came with real first-aid kits, complete with bandages, scissors, tape, a toy thermometer, and a "Little Nurse's Handbook."

This 19-inch plastic doll was made in the 1950s as a counter display for drug stores. Miss Curity's name is printed on her front pocket and her starched white nurse's cap."
