This is for the elephant with attached monkey only. I do have the wagon and bears but have decided to separate because of weight and size. There is a small hole to face and chains are broken/incomplete/missing. Small indention to one leg. The hole is actually on the “back side” when displaying. Aside from that there is normal age marks as to be expected on a one hundred year old item.
If you collect Schoenhut Circus caricatures this is a must have. I will be listing more of my collection so keep an eye out. Have questions please ask and thanks for looking..
