Punkinhead The Lollipop Man

Say hello to Punkinhead the Lollipop Man — a rare and heartwarming character from Canada’s golden age of department store magic.

Originally created by Canadian cartoonist Charles Thorson, Punkinhead was the “sad little bear” with wild orange hair who captured hearts through storybooks published by the T. Eaton Company. As Eaton’s official Christmas mascot, Punkinhead starred in songs, parades, and a wide array of branded toys, kitchenware, and children’s clothing.

This special edition — Punkinhead as the Lollipop Man — adds a whimsical twist to the beloved bear’s legacy. Whether directing traffic with a sweet smile or charming young readers with his gentle nature, he represents the timeless values of kindness, cheer, and childlike wonder.

A delightful collector’s piece and a tribute to mid-century Canadian Christmas traditions, Punkinhead the Lollipop Man is a treasure for fans of vintage toys and nostalgic storytelling alike.
