Mechanical Japanese Clown with Cymbals turned wood reamer so I'm not really sure

so I'm not really sure

and is gorgeous from any angle

still lives and figures

Mechanical Japanese Clown with Cymbals turned wood reamer so I'm not really sureThis clown seems to be a pure embodiment of happiness, from its hand painted red cheeked smiling face to its polka dotted outfit, to its little wooden legs, one missing a foot. But best of all, squeeze his belly and his arms come forward, almost, but not quite, to clap those cymbals together! Definitely made in Japan (he bears a very close resemblance to a few Japanese hand puppets I've had in stock), I believe this clown dates to the 1940s or so.
