MEAS.13"L by 4"W by 7"HWAGON BOX ONLY 7"L by 4 3/4"H sans wheelsHORSES ONLY 5"L by 4 3/4"H sans wheelsTOTAL WEIGHT 12.8oz     THIS CHARMING PAPER LITHO TOY CAME FROM AN OLD FAMILY ESTATE AUCTION HELD IN THE MIDWEST. IT'S ALL ORIGINAL AND IN REMARKABLE CONDITION. I AM NOT SURE THE MAKER AND THERE IS NO MARKER'S NAME THAT I CAN DETECT. THE ONLY APOLOGY ARE SOME MISSING PINS WHICH SECURE THE HORSES TO THE CART. FOR THE SAKE OF THESE PICTURES, I LIGHTLY TACKED THE HORSE AND CART TOGETHER WITH SMALL NAILS WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES. THE ORIGINAL NAILS ARE GONE.     I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DETAILED GRAPHICS AND THE COLOURS ARE BRIGHT AND CRISP. THERE IS LITTLE FADING TO THE REDS, YELLOWS, AND GREENS. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES TO THE SURFACE, BUT THE PAPER LITHO IS FULLY INTACT ON ALL SIDES AND THERE ARE NO TEARS OR HOLES OR MISSING PIECES. THE LITHO ON THE BOX CART IS FANTASTIC. DISPLAYS THE TIGERS "IN THE WILD" WITH CIRCUS ACROBATS AND CLOWNS. FRONT AND BACK OF THE WAGON ARE ALSO BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED RIGHT DOWN TO THE PADLOCKS ON THEIR CAGES. THE HORSES HAVE PAPER LITHO ON BOTH SIDES AND ARE SEPARATED BY A RED WOODEN PLATFORM. LOVE THEIR CIRCUS SADDLE AND BLANKETS! THEY ARE DETAILED AND THEIR FACES ARE HIGHLY EXPRESSIVE. WHEELS ARE SECURE ON BOTH THE HORSES AND THE WAGON. CART INTERIOR IS CLEAN. ALL SIDES AND BOTTOM ARE FULLY INTACT AND SOLID. THE FLAT SPOKED WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL AND STILL HAVE TRACES OF THE ORIGINAL GREEN PAINT. THERE ARE NO BREAKS OR SPLITS TO THE SPOKES. JUST HAS SOUL.     JUST THINK THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE TOY. GREAT VIVID COLOURS. EXTREMELY WELL-CONSTRUCTED AND IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. I KNOW THE FAMILY TRULY CARED FOR ALL THEIR HEIRLOOMS AND THIS PIECE IS MARVELOUS. WOULD MAKE A STRIKING AND SUPERB DISPLAY FOR ANY COLLECTION OF TOYS.     IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR KNOW THE MAKER OF THIS TOY, PLEASE ASK. I SHALL WRAP YOUR AMERICAN CIRCUS WITH EXTREME CARE AND SHIP IT HOME TO YOU WITHIN ONE DAY. THE NEW OWNER IS TO PAY $12.50 FOR FULLY INSURED USPS PRIORITY SHIPPING WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES ARE TO PAY PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL/FULLY INSURED. THANKS! GOOD LUCK! cheers, z-  Place a Bid!
