    I received this bad boy for a birthday present last year. I think it is some sort of clown prop for a circus??? But, am not sure, that is just my fantasy for it. The imagery on the front appears to be screen printed in parts and also hand painted. I am usually good with sourcing the origins of treasures, but this special treat has stumped me. My friends bought it off a friend who was moving out of the country, he had bought it many years ago in a antique store while taking a road trip across the country.

    Please let me know if you know what it's original purpose was and value if any, since I do currently use it as a hamper in my bathroom.

      I would definitely use it as a hamper. My guess is that's it's calling in life...with al the clothes and everything on the top...poor baby got thrown in with the dirty clothes...wonder if it had something to do with his diapers...lol
      Thanks for sharing! It's wonderful!!!
