Vintage Pop Up Clown. Measures 15" with pole. Good condition. Clothes have slight stains, small rips and there are no hands. I'm not sure if there should be.
Bring a touch of nostalgic whimsy to your collection with this vintage "peek-a-boo" pop-up clown cone puppet. Popular as interactive children's toys and carnival prizes during the mid-to-late 20th century, these puppets feature a simple yet delightful mechanical design where a wooden push-rod allows the character to hide inside or emerge from its cone. This particular piece stands out with its bright pink polyester-cotton fabric adorned with a playful white daisy and multi-color polka dot pattern.
The puppet features a classic hand-painted plastic clown head with a cheerful expression and a blue hat. Measuring approximately 15 inches from the top of the head to the bottom of the wooden pole, it is a perfect size for display on a nursery shelf or as a unique addition to a vintage toy collection. This item is in good condition; while it functions smoothly, it carries the charm of a well-loved toy with slight stains and small rips consistent with its age. Notably, it does not have hands, which is common for many of these unbranded novelty puppets from the 1960s and 1970s.
This item is vintage over 50 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
