He wobbles, he rocks… but he never falls down. And sometimes? He’s seen swaying all on his own.
This vintage roly-poly clown toy, marked 1972 “The First Years” by Kiddie Products, was once meant to delight children — but over time, his worn paint and frozen grin have taken on a life of their own. With wide eyes that glint strangely in the light and a too-smooth tilt when nudged, this relic of playtime past has stirred more than just nostalgia.

Atmospheric Observations:
Several owners have commented that this clown moves ever so slightly when no one is near — “probably just a draft,” they say. Probably. His gaze? Unblinking. His smile? Permanent. His intent? Unclear.
Condition:
Decent vintage condition with visible wear, especially on lower half. Still rocks smoothly. Coloration is significantly faded in some areas, which only enhances the vintage patina.
