About the Item
These antique toys were made by the Schoenhut piano company in the 1920s. Part of the Humpty-Dumpty circus series.
they are made from solid wood and have articulated limbs so they can be maneuvered in different poses. The joints are made with rope. The figures are both in good yet used condition. Completely original with lots of patina, some scuffs and scratches. No missing parts and all the joints are functioning.
Highly decorative and over a hundred years old.
The Schoenhut Piano Company was an American manufacturer of toy pianos, dolls, and other wooden toys. It was founded in 1872 in Philadelphia as the A. Schoenhut Company by German immigrant and woodcarver Albert Schoenhut, who had begun making toy pianos during his youth in Germany. Both his father and grandfather had been toy and doll-makers. The company began with making toy pianos and soon expanded to other toys such as dolls, doll houses, and circus figures. By the time of Albert Schoenhut's death in 1912, Schoenhut Piano Company had grown to become the largest toy company in the United States, and the first to export its products to Germany. The Great Depression forced the company into bankruptcy in 1935, but a year later Otto Schoenhut opened a new company called O. Schoenhut, Inc., continuing the legacy. It was purchased in the 1980s by the Trinca family.
