Initially founded to make toy pianos, the Schoenhut Piano Company, based in Philadelphia, debuted its Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1903, and I do believe it was the best thing they ever made--not just for the clowns and animals, but also, and maybe especially, for the circus furniture! I really love the ladders, which I've found make great stands for little animals when laid on their sides and, with nicely aged old white painted surfaces, are just satisfying things.

11 3/4" long x 2 1/4" w x 3/8" d. Sold as a pair, as it's nice to have two!
