    Description

    Vintage baby's crib mobile toy that has it all!  Probably 1940's to 50's. Has a blue plastic ribbed c-shaped holder on a rubber suction cup. The rubber is real and has dried up so the cup will not work. There is a pink and white ball on the top to hold  string that has 2 nice old bells. then a clown in pink and blue plastic with a hand painted face. He is holding a butterscotch elephant that I am pretty sure is Bakelite but cannot test (I collected plastic for years and have a lot of Bakelite jewelry and napkin rings, etc and this looks and feels like those pieces). As it looks like a napkin ring it might be a home crafted piece or perhaps they used the Bakelite rings for other stuff. It is about 8.5" tall. Has some wear and needs a careful cleaning. I would not put it were a baby could get hold of it as it probably will be brittle and could easily come apart. Still a wonderful piece! If I can find a box to pack it up for 13 oz or less I will ship via 1st class and refund the savings, but I think the box will have to be too big for that to be possible, I always check though.
