Vintage Yo-yo- clown hanging around. Looking pretty sad. Full of dust.
Time to throw him out? V, we talked about things with a face! Fifty years of saving him, gave him a bath. Spared from the trash. Don’t remember really playing with him, just propped up on a bookshelf, flopped really. Colorful and jingles when you move him. The bells probably dangerous for a child. I think there are still people who make these yo-yo dolls and will check it out. He was just always there.
LOVE IT!
Thanks Ruthanne. I think you are my #1 reader!!! I will have to award you something , say, how about a glass of wine??? Ruth
Brilliant! Never get rid of him.
He looks refreshed. Does he have a name?
This could be the start a child’s story book.You always rescue things. Remember the doll house?

How did you wash him? Did you just soak him in mild soap and water? I have two and a Santa I recently came across while going through old cardboard boxes of things packed away 20+ years… they were mine as a baby – my nursery was clowns. Scary I know. LOL.
I think it was Dawn dish washing liquid. He came out fine but the stuffing in his face compacted a bit. Good luck. Do you think anyone makes these anymore?
