Vintage Esco Emmett Kelly Jr. Clown Leaning on Fire Hydrant. Measures about 8" in height by 10" long. Resin, I think. Very good condition.
Capture a moment of quiet melancholy with this vintage Esco figurine of the world’s most famous hobo clown, Emmett Kelly Jr. This large-scale piece depicts his iconic "Weary Willie" character in a rare pose, reclining and leaning his head against a fire hydrant. Esco Products Inc. was renowned in the 1970s and 1980s for their expressive, hand-painted celebrity sculptures, and this piece perfectly showcases the bittersweet artistry of the Kelly family.
Measuring approximately 8" in height and 10" in length, this substantial figurine is cast in a heavy resin or chalkware-style material. It features high-relief details, from the individual patches on Willie's coat to the realistic texture of the silver hydrant. Unlike many mass-produced circus miniatures, Esco pieces were designed as professional-grade decor and carry a distinct presence on a shelf or mantel. This piece is in very good condition, retaining its original vibrant colors and character.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old.
