Mattel Ringling Brothers Circus

Mattel Ringling Brothers Circus

As a child, I won ticked to the Ringling Brother circus, it was a strange mix of awe and fear for me. Mostly due to me being leery of clowns, still carry that to this day.

This toy from Mattel kind of surprises me, mostly because it seems like the kind of thing Marx would do.

    Wow..My brother and me had that! Forgot all about it. Not a heck of a lot of play value, but it was unique.

    This happened during the period when Mattel actually owned Ringling Brothers. I've seen individual sets of these bagged as premiums, but I don't know how those were distributed.
