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 20 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
