Vintage Wooden Clown Stacking Toy floating leaves floating faces 1940s or 50s I'd think

1940s or 50s I'd think and in great structural shape

There is a fair amount of wear and erosion to the surface of the cast iron

there is a tiny tuft of hair glued to the top of his head

which I might guess dates to the earlyish 19th century

Vintage Wooden Clown Stacking Toy floating leaves floating faces 1940s or 50s I'd thinkI've rarely met an old wooden stacking toy I didn't like, and this is just a fun one, unmarked but I think perhaps made by Brio quite a while ago. The hat pulls off allowing one to arrange the discs in whatever way, and to turn the clown's hand painted head upside down if desired! 7" t x 3" in diameter and in good, well loved condition, and initialed in marker by its one time owner on the underside of the base.
