Color: Blue; Red; Yellow
A noisemaker, manufactured by Kirchhof, ca. 1928. The item is a blue-painted round bottom and a smaller red bordered lid. These pieces are soldered together. On the lid's face, on a blue background is an image of a winking clown and a yellow sunburst pattern around him. On one end of the lid's side panel is the phrase "'Life of the Party' PRODUCTS" and on the opposite end is the manufacturer's name and place of business. Protruding from the blue bottom piece is a bright red handle Inside is a ball or other item that rattles when the artifact is shaken. On the face is some adhesive material toward the bottom and there are scratches throughout, but the overall condition is good.
