Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty Circus Chair antique treen box was such a great failureInitially 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 for the circus furniture, including ladders and pedestals and this 100% perfect chair! Really sort of iconic, and pretty hard to beat. 5" tall x 3" wide and deep. Good condition, nicely aged, very sturdy. A few dark marks
