The celebrity collector

Article Abstract:

Clinton Derricks, actor and singer, collects golliwogs, the black figures made popular in storybooks more than 100 years ago in Britain. A group of three golliwogs that are particularly prized for their uniqueness are a soldier golliwog dressed in British khaki uniform, a girl golliwog that was quite rare as not many of the dolls were depicted as girls, and a third doll, with blue jacket, red trousers and red bow tie.
