A Beautiful Music Helvetic Clown Teddy with her original felt pommed hat. She has a Beautiful Face and was made with music bellows c.1920s by the German company Moritz Pappe. The smallest one we have measuring 11” to top of head not including her ears nor original clown hat of 4 ¼”.
Abundant cream white or platinum blonde mohair, her original dreamy opaque orange glass eyes, perfect floss on nose, mouth and claws and felt pads look great without holes. Her music bellows in her belly works, plays musical notes though stiffly as if maybe sticking or misaligned. She sits slightly askew due to the weight of her music box.
Her original felt hat has two peach pompoms of silky yarn slightly fragile as some silk bits seem loose. The felt is in wonderful shape with only a pale discolor to one hand pad. Her wristlets and collar are not original but simply fashioned like she should’ve had years ago.
Our teddy has her original patina along with some small areas of missing or thin mohair from being played with. Her hat was glued onto her head likely because it wouldn’t stay on her, not the best idea as it made the edges stiff as well as the fur under it.
Luna is quite lovely in excellent condition for her more than 100 years of age as rarely do you come across a smaller musical Moritz with her wonderful felt clown hat.
