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.
