As a point of interest I was born and raised in England (UK). I live there for 7 years ahd in Scotland for 2 years. I was born in January 16, 1947. Golliwogs were also made of paper and laid on top of jam and marmalade, on every jar, and remained there until June 2, 1956 when I came to Canada to live. Originally the golliwog represented a black child who, because of his skin colour, was paid a half penny to slide down the chimney with an round brush and handlen to clean chimneys. The golliwogn then became a national icon and every child in the British Isles collected them. We never made any bad references about him, we loved to collect him. By the way, the golliwog was a boy and never a girl. I think I'm right in saying that the golliwogn started in England and Austtralia. Other countries caught on later. The government then removed the golliwog and banned himn forever.
