7. Short Article:
• Monkeys Afoot
• The New York Times, December 8, 2002
• By MARIANNE ROHRLICH
In the canon of stuffed animals, the red-mouthed (or red-bottomed) sock monkey
holds an important place. Crafted from brown-and-white tweed work socks with
red heels manufactured by the Nelson Knitting Company in Rockford, Ill., the rag
dolls appeared in the early 1900's, made by women to supplement their income.
This month, nearly 100 vintage sock monkeys are for sale in the American Folk Art
Museum shop, 44 West 53rd Street in New York (212-265-1040), at the old-
fashioned price of $36 each. Since each is made by hand, no two are alike: some
have soulful embroidered eyes, others have button eyes and broad, smiling
mouths. The monkeys come from Joshua Mack and Ron Warren, New York
collectors, who own more than 1,800 of them.
Their collection began in 1985 as ''a fluke,'' Mr. Mack said. ''I saw one monkey in a
crafts shop in Hot Springs, Va., and that was how we started.'' The museum also
sells a sock monkey kit ($13), for anyone who has a hankering to try his hand at
some monkey business.
