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! These three pieces would have served as stands and props for various three-ring activities; now I think they make great pedestals for all sorts of things, as well as a great-looking tower just stacked up themselves.

Barrel: 2 3/4" t. White painted stand: 2 3/4" t. Orange and yellow" 2 5/8" t x 2 3/4". All nicely aged and in great structural shape.
