Description
2" (5 cm.) - 4". Each is paper mache with weighted bottom so, when pushed, begins to fall over and then rises upright again; the trio depict two clowns and a performing circus dog, each with vividly and imaginatively painted costume details and little caps. Excellent condition. Circa 1890, rare small size of the classic toy with wonderful detail of painting.
