4SCHUCO WIND-UP JUGGLING CLOWN NR. 965 WithREPRO. BOX AND KEY. FULLY OPERATIONAL

SCHUCO OFFERED THIS ITEM NUMBER 965 "JUGGLING" CHARACTER/FIGURINE IN THE CLOWN VERSION ONLY HEREAFTER SIMPLY REFERRED TO AS "CLOWN"!! THIS IS AN ORIGINAL "CLOWN" WHICH IS IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL SHAPE/CONDITION AND IS SO HALLMARKED "MADE IN THE US ZONE OF GERMANY" ON IT'S LARGE PLASTIC SHOES. I N R EPRODUCTION B OX W ITH K EY.

HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS SCHUCO CLOWN IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! THIS CLOWN IS MADE FULLY OF TIN AND HAS A FELT LIKE COAT WRAPPED AROUND/ONTO IT. THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE IS THE SAME MECHANISM THAT THEY USE IN THEIR MANY OF THEIR POPULAR MODEL CARS TO INCLUDE THE POPULAR WENDE-LIMOUSINE MODEL NUMBER 1010 (ONLY IN A SMALLER VERSION) AND MICRO-RACERS. EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THIS FIGURINE IS ORIGINAL AND STILL FACTORY ATTACHED. ALL OF THE BALLS, EARS, HANDS, SHOES, ETC ARE ALL ORIGINAL TO THIS CLOWN AND ALL ARE STILL WELL ATTACHED. YOU WILL ALSO NOTE THAT YOU HAVE SOME VERY SLIGHT FADING OF THE COLORS AND SOME SLIGHT SOILING OF THE WHITE GLOVES, UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A VERY COMMON TRAIT AS EVEN INCANDESCENT LIGHTS, OVER TIME, WILL CAUSE THE FADING OF THIS OLDER FELT MATERIAL. WHEN YOU ADD IN A LITTLE NATURAL SUN LIGHT, THE PROCESS SPEEDS UP CONSIDERABLY.

FORTUNATELY, THIS CLOWN HAS BEEN BURIED IN A DRAW FOR THE PAST FEW DECADES, SO YOU STILL HAVE SOME BRIGHT CONTRAST WITH ALL OF THE COLORS. THIS CLOWN DISPLAY'S VERY WELL AND WORKS EVEN BETTER! ALL OF THESE JUGGLING 965 CLOWNS ARE DESIGNED WITH THE SAME MOVEMENT AND THAT IS THAT THEY SPIN AROUND SLIGHTLY (SHIFTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT), WHILE THE FOUR (4) BALLS ARE SPINNING AROUND IN A FULL 360 DEGREE MOTION WHILE BOTH OF HIS ARMS ARE MOVING UP AND DOWN GIVING YOU THE APPEARANCE THAT HE IS ACTUALLY JUGGLING THESE BALLS!

YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT WEAR ON THIS CLOWN NOR DO YOU HAVE ANY BUG HOLES ON HIS CLOTHING (A VERY COMMON ISSUE). YOU DO HAVE SOME SLIGHT WEAR ON THE CLOWNS TOP HAT AND AS NOTED EARLIER SOME SLIGHT SOILING ON THE WHITE GLOVES. IT WORKS PERFECTLY AND AS DESIGNED. THE BOX HERE WAS DESIGNED FOR THREE (3) DIFFERENT SCHUCO FIGURINES (IT'S GENERIC). THEY SHOW A MOUSE WITH A LADDER NR. 959 AND A GERMAN MAN WITH A CHILD NR. THIS BOX IS A NICE REPRODUCTION BOX WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN GERMANY AS WELL. I FOUND THIS REPRODUCTION BOX ON LINE A FEW YEARS AGO AND PICKED IT UP JUST TO PROTECT THE CLOWN FROM ANY DAMAGE. THE SCHUCO NUMBER 1 KEY IS ORIGINAL AND INCLUDED.

AS NOTED ABOVE, THIS CLOWN WAS/IS MADE IN THE US ZONE OF GERMANY WHICH DATES THIS AS BEING BUILT BETWEEN THE YEARS 1945 AND 1949. I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD.

I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! ONCE AGAIN, THIS SCHUCO CLOCKWORK JUGGLING CLOWN NR.

965 WORK PERFECTLY AND HAS NO ISSUES. IT WORKS AS DESIGNED AND HAS A NICE REPRODUCTION BOX WITH IT'S ORIGINAL NUMBER 2 SCHUCO KEY.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, VINTAGE, CLOCKWORK MODEL/ITEM AND NOT A REPRODUCTION THEREOF! IT'S OLD AND IT'S USED....

BUT, NEVER HAS IT BEEN ABUSED! AS A COLLECTOR, ONE MUST ASSUME THAT SOME LITTLE QUARKS MIGHT ARISE ON CERTAIN MODELS AND ARE CONSIDERED IN FACT, "NORMAL" AND SOMETIMES EVEN EXPECTED! YOU HAVE NO SUCH ISSUES WITH ANY OF THESE CLOWN'S. BUT, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX..... EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE, THAT DOES NOT MEAN ONE WILL NOT ARISE!

THEN HE COMPLAINS LIKE A TODDLE WHO HAS HIS PACIFIER WITHIN SIGHT, BUT SLIGHTLY OUT OF REACH WHEN IT DOES NOT DO SO! WITH THIS BEING SAID, I WILL TRY TO INFORM YOU OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME.

I DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. I HAVE NOT EVEN REACHED 30% OF WHAT I HAVE IN HOUSE TO LIST AND I HAVE DUPLICATES OF MANY ITEMS, SOME LISTED AT THIS TIME AND MANY NOT YET LISTED. ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER JUGGLING CLOWN FROM SCHUCO IN THE CONDITION WHICH APPEARS BEFORE YOU, LET ALONE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A NICE REPRODUCTION BOX AND THE ORIGINAL KEY AND NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED TO ADD TO THEIR OWN COLLECTION. A GOLD T/RATED PSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND. I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS I HAVE NO MORE CONTROL OVER THIS THEN YOU DO!

AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU..... BE SURE TO CHECK ME OUT OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT SEE THAT SOMETHING SPECIAL WHICH MIGHT JUST FILL THAT VOID IN YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION! THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
