Vinyl doll 'Campbell's Soup Kid in Scottish Kilt' by Horsman Dolls

History

The Campbell's Soup Kids were created in 1904 as advertising mascots for the Campbell Soup Company, becoming iconic symbols of American consumer culture. In the 1960s, Horsman Dolls produced a series of vinyl Campbell Kids dolls dressed in various international costumes, including this Scottish kilt version. These dolls were approximately 10 inches tall and featured the characteristic cherubic faces with rosy cheeks that made the Campbell Kids so recognizable. These dolls appeal strongly to collectors of vintage advertising memorabilia, Americana, and mid-century toys. The Scottish kilt variant is particularly sought after by collectors who focus on international costume dolls or Campbell's Soup advertising items. Their nostalgic charm and connection to one of America's most beloved brand mascots make them desirable pieces for those interested in 20th-century commercial history and vintage toy collecting.
