The famous 1988 East German kids movie/musical has the 10 yo main character (played by 13 yo Christoph Zeller, shown above) not in bibs but pants with suspenders. Set in 1923 Berlin. I have uploaded a rare 30 minutes documentary (Kai für Kiste gesucht) mainly about the casting (some boys in jeans but not bibs). The 1926 novel has him in bibs on the cover, several different edition also vinyl and cassettes. Shown in the clip at 5. At least some editions are illustrated, also shown at 4.
English title: Bill of the Black Hand - A very tall story. Author: Wolf Durian. I don't own the book and can't say if there are mentions of bibs. Young street boy. But Berlin is not rural. He also wrote the prequel magazine "Der heitere Fridolin". There is also a 1960 TV movie, but I haven't found any pics or clips of that.
I have the movie on my sailor suit blog, sailor suits, rating 7. There are also stage plays but I haven't found any showing bibs.
