Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the accessory pet figure representing Julie's companion animal, guinea pig. Nutmeg is Julie's pet guinea pig featured in her 1970s San Francisco storyline.

This pet figure was sold as part of the character's accessory line, made of plush or a poseable soft-sculpt material sized to accompany the 18-inch doll.

It typically includes the pet figure alone or with a small collar, leash, or bed accessory, packaged with a card describing its role in the character's stories.

Collectors identify authentic examples by the correct breed/species styling matching the book descriptions, quality plush stitching, and any American Girl tags sewn into the seams.

Condition issues include flattened or matted fur, loose limbs, and missing collar accessories, which lower value versus clean, tagged examples.
