Charming vintage push-up puppet featuring a hand-painted clown head with a cheerful expression, dressed in a yellow gingham outfit with lace trim. The cone is decorated in a bold geometric pattern in purple, green and cream, and the puppet moves by pushing or pulling the wooden rod beneath to make it pop in and out.
A nostalgic mid-century toy, likely made in Europe, combining fabric, painted wood and paper craftsmanship. Displays beautifully as a retro collectable or as part of a vintage toy collection.
Good vintage condition with some age-related wear to the paint and cone as shown. The movement mechanism works smoothly.
