Anatomy of a Clown
Part II
By John Peterson
If your memory is superior to mine , (not much of a challenge, I will admit,) please
forgive me while I recap our story up to this point. At the end of Anatomy of a Clown,
part I, I was awaiting delivery of my latest love, a Bajazzo or clown catching game that
I purchased in an Ebay auction. The game was non-working but advertised as being
complete - maybe - and with several features that began to make me think, after I had
already made the successful bid, that the game was not original. Two items in particular
that caused the most doubt were the hinges that definitely had something funky going
on, and the domed top to the case, a feature that I had never, ever seen on a clown
catcher. My concern was that I had purchased a composite game, one where the original
door and mechanism had been added to a much later (and incorrect) case.
