Actually it is spelled Kewpie doll. They were a popular carnival prize and there was even a song along these lines- The Midway and the Fun, the Kewpie dolls you won!. The name is, obviously derived from(Cupid) but it is spelled Kewpie. They were very popular from l9l0- thirties. There have been revived at times. The cupid-like painters in the (Cook and Dunn) advertisement- Painting"s fun with Cook and Dunn! may have been derived from the Kewpie dolls. Cook and Dunn was a paint manufacturer in Newark, NJ. I am not sure they are still extant.
