This original circus wagon sign recently sold on eBay for $ 364.99. The seller describes the consigner as having bought an entire wagon that was manufactured in 1910, but the only part worth saving was this sign.
Interestingly, the same seller has listed a folk art carved lion that apparently came from ANOTHER circus wagon from the 1880's! Wish I could have been at this auction where they were selling old wagons!
It's currently listed on eBay with a starting price of $ 100.00:
Ooh - I wish I'd have seen this! I love circus/carnival stuff. Oh well - there's only so many hours in the day that one can troll on eBay.
