This wooden toy circus set was made ca. 1920 by the Schoenhut Toy Company in America. The Humpty Dumpty Circus, as it was known, was first produced in 1903 after the patent for the clown figure was granted. It became extremely popular very quickly and soon grew to around 37 animals, 29 figures and over 40 different accessories. Unfortunately, the Humpty Dumpty Circus did not last long as Schoenhut’s Toy Company went out of business in 1935 due to the global economic depression. We have 5 pieces from the Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty circus. All pieces are in great condition considering the age and the fact that these were toys played with by both girls and boys. The elephant is in incredible condition with leather ears and intact metal accents. All figures internal cordage remains intact. These would be an incredible addition to someone’s collection.
