[CIRCUS -- FOLK ART]. A Complete Folk Art Circus with Rides, Wagons, a Car, Concession Stands, and Ticket Booth. Circa 1960s. 14 main pieces with some standing supplemental figures and other ancillary elements. Wood, paint and found objects with other mixed media. An anonymous artist created this charming dot-painted circus. Main features follow: King Kong in a towering cage pulled by elephants; Harvey inspired oversize rabbits on a cart and a car; Flying Trapeze Show; Ticket booth; and two concession stands. Rides include a Merry Go Round, Flying Chairs, Ferris Wheel and Airplane Ride. While the whole set is visually intact, there are many pieces that have broken or missing pieces, small breaks and splits, and other minor marks, scuffs or blemishes. Good overall. Third-party transportation required. Largest element is the Ferris Wheel, 21 x 22 x 8".
