Poter 1986 Musical Clown Doll/Toy

By aniikinz, 20 January, 2014
Description
  • Musical wind-up clown doll(?)
  • Head moves in a circular motion back and forward to a happy tune (not a "Small World"). 
  • Small crack on his styroform bottom.
  • Fabric fully intact.
  • Original thread attaching card - threadbare.

Research done:

  • Found many Poter clowns online but have not seen this particular one before (purple hearts and simple line mouth)
  • Other Poter clowns have plastic wind up key - this has a metal one.
  • Other Poter clowns have a Sankyo musical device in them for the tune.

Any help appreciated.
