Vintage circa 1969 battery-operated "Chuckling Charlie" robot toy, made in Japan by Straco for F. J. Strauss Co. of New York, standing at 14″ tall. The colorful "hysterical laughing clown" wears a red hat and has a split along one of the seams of its head. Includes its original box, which is heavily creased and torn but repaired with tape.
From the robot collection of camera artist Andres Serrano.
