Paper moon duo. RPPC. Private Collection.
I’ve been wanting to add a ‘paper moon’ to my collection. The moon is so small these two buddies are almost on top of each other. And what a toothy grin!

Two more examples of gents with paper moons here and here.
I need to find out where this paper moon craze came from. They were found in amusement parks and people loved them. This Pinterest page is worth checking out.

I don’t know much of paper moons but I think they were an American trend. They’re cute aren’t they!

Thanks, your blog is great too, you have a beautiful collection! I never attempted rerooting, it sounds so difficult and time consuming, I’m happy with the trend of wigged dolls :-). BTW I have an old photograph blog too, if you’re interested, the link is in the sidebar menu of my WordPress blog.
