Bonzo was a fictional character created by British artist George Studdy in the early 1920s. He was a chubby little white puppy having one black ear, one white ear, sparse black spots, a stubby tail and big blue eyes. Bonzo appeared on posters, in films and on stage. Merchandise of all descriptions was made in his likeness. Not to be an exception were the  highly detailed tin antique chocolate molds manufactured by the German company of Anton Reiche. The molded chocolate figures of the famous puppy in various poses were always in great demand and were enjoyed by children and adults. Bonzo may have lost his immense following in 2005, but the whimsical antique chocolate molds are still highly sought after.
