Object: Small wooden clown with pull-string.
Description: A wooden clown. He has a white face with a red nose and blue hair. He is wearing yellow dungarees and purple shoes. There is a loop of cotton behind his head so he can be hung up. He has a pull-string between his legs and his arms and legs shoot up when you pull the string, making him do star-jumps. He is a very happy toy.
Item Number: 27.
Provenance: It would be a bit fiddly for a baby to operate this toy. I expect Becky Brookfield (my mother) bought it for later, when I could use my fingers properly. She probably thought it would make me laugh.
Display: Hanging from a nail on the wall so its string can be pulled.
