Many many clowns worked with Poodles. Although each clown's makeup is very individualized, this one looks to simply be a generic get up. It is likely the statue does not represent any One person, but simply a "type". Interesting piece.

Interesting to know that about clowns.....I don't think I've ever seen a clown with a poodle but I've only been to a couple of circuses in my life. This guys costume seems old period style, regardless I'd like to know of any opinions regarding this piece, I have a couple of other toys in my collection but this one seems oddly out of place. Thanks for the reply.

Looks like one of the characters that would have been made in the "Allach" tradition. Obviously, as you stated made of brass or something and not porcelain.
Best,

Speculation of course, but maybe an item used as a good luck piece or mascot attached to a (German?) vehicle...teddy bears were popular too...
I suppose we'll never know for sure...
cheers, Glenn

Upon further research I find that Herr Himmler was especially fond of animal, historical figures, and things that idealized the aryan nation, mostly in porcelin but later produced in bronze/brass Pieces known as Nagy pieces. Produced in the Dachau concentration camp......ironic considering the misery I would think. But this little guy came from a WW II veteran's estate so I can't help but think that it was acquired during the 2nd world war. I will study this guy with a closer eye in case I've missed something. Thank you for your information. Best.

Quite right. (Kinda figures, as clowns and poodles are two things I don't like.)
