| Some "LOGGIES" are actually a variety of GLOSSY TOP, having the shiny roofs in the beginning -the rural first cousins of the PRINTIES and G.T.'s. Some form of log cabin is found from the beginning right through to the bitter end in the early '60s when our Christmas stuff began coming from Taiwan - the single-faced corrugated carboard being a "natural" for the basis of the style. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note the chimneys on these otherwise identical LOGGIES" - one is
actually a "PRINTIE" - pretty much tying them to the '29-32 period..
Both of these have glossy sides and rich colors. The litle guy with stick-on
window in the lower right is actually a candy-box, which you have seen before.

| There
aren't that many different styles of Loggies but they came in different finshing
schemes and a wide range of sizes. Many sets included 1 LOGGIE in with 7 others
of the "in town"style. Above is shown a large Cotton-Topperalong side
the "Little Guy" again. The clear cellophane door is a possible indicator
that it is post war, but that's not entirely reliable, as cellophane doors do
appear in late '30's pieces. The more intricate printing pattern is probably
indicative of late prewar. I have seen at least one LOGGIE with a base 11 3/4"
X 9 1/2" that would fully cover a standard sheet of typing paper and more.(The
prewar GIANT class.) But it was exactly the same style and had no more detail
than the medium size version. |
