Meet a 1946/1947 CMU pupster!
For being almost 70 years old, this pupster is still in pretty good shape. This soft, plush, adorable stuffed dog toy was purchased by a CMU student from the CMU bookstore during the 1946-1947 academic year. There are no tags or branding. There was little branding back then. Except for the face and neck, which were repaired by hand stitching, the pup is in very good condition. With pupils that move, the pup measures 6x7x2.5 inches, creating a nice handful of cuteness. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funding, the student did not graduate from CMU. However, she experienced a good life and treasured the pup as a CMU memento. After she died, her daughter donated her pup to us. We plan to feature the pup in future CMU-themed exhibits.
