Description

"CLIFFY THE CLOWN" DANCING PUPPET TOY PREMIUM
- 1950s. 11" x 14.5" (figure itself). Color litho on die-cut cardboard. Multi-jointed with 8 metal grommets.
Detailed jointed marionette of the popular clown star of 1950s "Super Circus" TV show. Includes original topper signage for upper string manipulation. Both of the original marionette string ends are still attached as intended.
This toy was offered by Mars Candy Co. as a Snickers TV premium in the mid 1950s (25¢ and 2 wrappers).
This is a pre-punched, assembled example. Loaded with outstanding eye appeal.
Condition is considered GOOD to FAIR with moderate surface/stain/edge wear. One 1/8" cardboard tear at top hole of topper signage. One string hole on topper signage is reinforced with a thin 7/8" piece of brown tape. Moderate surface creasing with no cardboard tears or separations apparent. Colors and imagery is still bright, bold and attractive.
Overall, we feel this is still a very displayable example by most standards (see photos).
