This guy is such a nut, everybody's just crazy about him!
Especially in this 24" plush doll creation. This Mr. Peanut is in excellent condition, and wears a removable red knitted scarf. He's also wearing a big stuffed black felt hat, but one without the traditional trademark stripes found on some other representations.
Since his introduction in 1916, to help advertise the sales of the country's first roasted peanut company, Mr. Peanut has become the world's best-known advertising character. Based on the original drawing of a 14-year-old boy, the ever-dapper Mr. Peanut eventually added a top hat, white spats, ebony cane, and monacle to his unique ensemble. He may never make the cover of GQ, but no one will ever be able to crack his top spot at Planters/Lifesavers Co.
