An expressive little survivor from the 1930s, Freddie Frog brings a touch of the playful world of Cadbury’s Cococubs to your collection.
This original Freddie Frog figure was produced by Britains Ltd for Cadbury Bournville during the 1930s. Cast in lead and hand painted in green and brown, he has a wonderfully expressive face and a simple, characterful stance that gives this tiny figure a surprising presence.
The Cococubs were part of Cadbury’s imaginative approach to advertising during the 1930s. Created as promotional characters connected with Cadbury cocoa, the figures brought a cast of colourful personalities into the hands of children and became part of the wider world of Cadbury childhood memorabilia.
Freddie is a lovely example of the craftsmanship behind these early miniature figures. His original painted details and naturally aged finish give him the quiet appeal of an object that has been enjoyed and kept for generations.
