Emmett Kelly Jr. 35 Years of Clowning Limited Edition #9753 – Flambro
Emmett Kelly Jr. 35 Years of Clowning Limited Edition #9753 – Flambro
A standout piece from the EKJ Limited Edition collection — one of the most commanding sculptures Flambro produced in the series.
35 Years of Clowning (#9753) commemorates Emmett Kelly Jr.’s extraordinary career with a scene that could only belong to the circus: the iconic hobo clown astride a performing elephant, the animal rearing up on a decorated pedestal, the Circus City Festival banner draped across its side. The nameplate reads Celebrating 35 Years of Clowning. Issued in 1995 as a limited edition of 5,000, it is one of the larger and more architecturally complex pieces in the Flambro EKJ line — a centerpiece, not a shelf filler.
Vintage collectible with original box included. Packaging may show age and storage wear consistent with a vintage collectible — please review all photographs for exact condition before purchasing.
