- Policeman Doll, 1905-1909, Earle Ovington's Mascot "Treize" - Air mail pilot Earle Ovington adopted this doll as his personal mascot, carrying it with him on every flight. He named the doll, modeled after a French policeman, "Treize" -- the French word for "thirteen." It was Ovington's lucky number. He had "13" painted on his airplane's wings because, he recalled, no other pilot dared to use that particular number.
