murano clown

[otonoh]

Hi everyone, Well I never thought I would buy one but I can across this today in an antique store. I actually love it, even though real clowns creep me out. This is my first clown, and I know nothing, so I have a few questions.

1. Do you think it is real? I have seen a lot without stickers, this is the first With stickers I have seen in person.
2. How old do you think it is?
3. I paid $30.00 US. 24.77 EU. I think it was a great price
4. Anyone know about the kb label?
5. Is it lower quality when it comes to clowns?
6. Are the elongated clowns considered more desireable

There is one on ebay for $99 but I think it is overpriced.

Here are some pictures. It has a label I have never seen before.









thanks so much
David

Hi David In answer to your questions firstly it is murano,60/70 in date the KB label is an importers label of Koscherak Bros they also did a brown and silver label as to value l would think £40-50 so you did well as to height bigger is not always better a known maker will enhance value more l hope this satisfies your question.Cliff

Would this clown be considered a tourist clown?
