MUSICAL CLOWN HEAD

The Musical Clown Head was a very popular musical toy for babies that could be hung on a crib or playpen to entertain a youngster. It was a simple design – a round White plush head with a wind-up musical mechanism. The key was in the back of the head. We used Swiss musical mechanism for many years. The eyes, eyebrows and mouth were felt with a Red pompon nose and an elastic to suspend the toy. On the elastic was a printed ribbon saying “I’m A Musical”.
This musical head was created in the late 1950’s and was part of a very popular and inexpensive series of musical heads including the Clown, Doggie, Sleepy and A-B-C and 1-2-3 musical blocks. These musicals retailed for $2.98 each.
