Vintage Handmade BINGO Shelf Sitter Clown Doll
Item History & Price
You know how you always see strange things coming from Florida in the newspaper or on the tv news? Well, this is just another strange thing coming from Florida. This Bingo Shelf Sitter Clown Doll has so much fachizzle going on in such a small space, it's like a visual overload. It's body is a heavy block of wood inside with a bottom rim so it will shelf sit. It's fanciful frock is a pastel multi color mesh jumpsuit with gathered legs and arms with pink satin rib...bon and roses, then the same ribbon and roses at the neckline and on the back, waist sides are sinched with pink ribbon and ruffle around neck - and it is made from dish cloths! SAY WHAT? It is holding a sculpted metal enamel painted bingo card that has a red elephant in the bottom right corner. An elephant means good luck! It's hands and feet are made from real plastic bingo balls that are used in the fancy airblow bingo calling systems. The balls are B2, B6, B12 and B15. Not only can these be thought of as lucky numbers, but they are great vitamins as well. The head is a white plastic with painted features in yellow, blue and red. The eyes are beady and black plastic. Blue yarn hair cascades from beneath a white straw hat that has pink ribbons and roses that match the jumpsuit. Made with a lot of sewing, glue and love. This is 13" long X 8" wide X 6" deep. The hat is 6" in diameter. The metal bingo card is 3" X 3.25". The bingo balls are 1.5" in diameter. This is perfect for that Bingo Lover that has everything......I bet they don't have one of these!
