Half pint meant the same thing in the 1920s as it does now. Somebody [or maybe some animal] who's only a little thing. I would think it could be used for everyone from the achondroplastic to the child and back again. Had I more time I could probably find the time and place for when [and where] the term originated. Since I don't I will leave you with the mini-tantalizer [the half-pint tantalizer, as it were] that, if one has patience, there definitely are places online whereat one can learn these things.
