A wonderful example of American Folk Art and individual creativity and dedicated craftsmanship. This Circus Wagon and its 25 hand crafted Figures is like a Noah’s Ark of the Circus World. Likely made by a devoted parent or grandparent during WWII as a Christmas Present. There are 2 Children’s Figures in the Group so perhaps it was made for 2. It is Marked on the Bottom “Xmas 1944”. It must have been a hit present as it was played with a lot. Some normal wear and losses from children’s play. Likely from the Newark, NJ Area as some newspaper pieces were found in it from that area. And, it was purchased in the area as well. Just an honest piece of  love!
