I have come into possession of a miniature Weaver Brothers Circus. I am looking for information on this miniature…. how many were built, who it was built by, etc.
Any information at all would be appreciated. I am interested in finding an outlet for these pieces, or at least some history on this amazing miniature collection.
Most of the pieces depict the “back of house” of the circus; storage areas, food tents, clown staging area, under the bleachers, livestock holding area, etc. There is also 3 beautiful separate set-ups of
the 3-ring performance rings. Thousands of pieces! A large portion of the pieces have been affixed to four 4′ X 8′ boards. The 3 performance rings, stadium, elephant parade, etc are in tubs. There
are cardboard separators in these tubs that are from Ringling Broth. Cir.
There was a business card that says:

Thank you so much for any information or lead that you may be able to pass along!
