Vintage Clown In Air Balloon - Doll & Display Stand By Ron Lee, Applause.
A Ron Lee clown doll flying in a hot air balloon mounted on a wooden stand.
The doll has blonde curly hair and a soft body. She is clean and scent free. She still has her tag which is a bit faded.
The hot air balloon is made of wood, fabric, and plastic. It is held up by a clear pole which is then mounted into the wooden base. The base has a golden metal badge or relief on it with the artist’s name.
I have only seen one other balloon like this. I was told that it was a display piece, but it was inconclusive whether it was retail only. The doll is removable. She is not tied in or restrained in any way to the basket.
A great unique piece for anyone!
