    Wonderful Cliffy the Clown advertising standee for Weather-bird Shoes, "This is Cliffy the Big Clown for Super Circus". Cliffy is in full color and giving the thumbs-up sign. Circa 1950s, measures 8" high and 7" at base, which folds so Cliffy can stand. With some wear and name written on back, but intact and still stands. A rare piece; I can't find any record of this item online at all.
    Cliffy Sobier, known professionally as Cliffy the Clown was an American clown beginning in 1949. The clown debuted on an ABC-TV show called Super Circus. The family oriented show aired on Sunday afternoons for an hour. Cliffy's sidekicks on the show were Scampy and Nicky, both clowns. Cliffy was the head of the group. He had a bald head, oversized shoes, and a red nose. Unfortunately, the TV series had to move to New York City in 1955, leaving Cliffy the clown both disheartened and unemployed. Cliffy became the official mascot of Kellogg's Sugar Smacks in 1953. He served as the sweetened puffed wheat breakfast cereal's mascot until 1956.
