T. Cohn c. 1940s Tin Clown Rattle (Sans Handle) insects and indeed his stance is

and indeed his stance is like that of a lamb just learning to stand on wobbly legs

so when I found both together in this one

inked in red and black

to greet one at breakfast-time

Japan made some pretty good pieces

T. Cohn c. 1940s Tin Clown Rattle (Sans Handle) insects and indeed his stance isI like this old tin noisemaker better for having been freed of its handle, such that one can just send it rolling along, rattling and swirling as it goes. I love these clowns in pink polka dots too. Made by T. Cohn, USA, c. 1940s I believe. 4 1 16 in diameter x 7 8 d. A patch of surface loss over the face of one clown and a bit along the rim. Otherwise very good condition, great color, very sturdy.
