This is a Ideal toy Co Monkey Clown. He is poseable with wire in his limbs . Is made with a felt face,hands and feet and a mohair wig . He reminds me of an organ grinders monkey although he is dressed as a clown he can sit or stand . Circa late 40's to late 50's ? He stands a foot tall .
Fot lack of place for vintage plush toys I had to list under Teddy bears ? No place for him .

I would love to find a organ grinder monkey "teddy bear". this one is great, maybe you should buy him a miniature accordian! Mich
Michelle I have that mid size antique accordian one I posted maybe I can teach this little guy to pan handle for me out in front of my house :-) Good idea :-)
I think it's a great idea, then we can get a bubble machine and some Lawrence Welk music and your Monkey will be rakin' in the dough!! mich
For some reason I cannot resist a funny monkey -- thanks for the smile!

Thank you scandi :-)
why did i have to scroll down this far! COME ON MANI, THIS IS SCARING THE BOOGERMAN! LOL just kidding (sorta)
lol Mikie :-) He is a friendly circus monkey
Mani, everyone knows that a "bell-banging" psycho monkey is smart enough to dress as a circus monkey , they're all in it together , and what about those clowns, no disrespect clowns but, Mani,would you really take one home with you? Half way home, he would start "bangin those symbols, and get that wide-eyed look, now you're starting to shake, you can't quit looking at the backseat, up ahead you can't believe which are seeing, oh no, it's a giant red and white tent! Just kidding and I hope you had a good fourth. Mikie
should have saved that one for halloween!
Mikie hates monkeys lol don't turn your back if you go to a zoo one of the big brothers of his may snatch you up :-) I am going to send a clapping bug eyed monkey to you to keep your wife safe at night from the little Gremlins that run around your house at night . The 4th was so hot here the fish jumped out of the lake and begged to be caught and froze and put in a freezer . And I ain't kiddin' ! <grin>
