Description: Repackaged version of 1962's #900 Fisher-Price Circus, this delightful circus set also comes with a large circus wagon with a removable roof that can store all of the accessory pieces. The circus wagon is constructed of wood, has hinged doors on each end that lower to make a ramp, rolls on 4 wooden wheels and measures 15" long, 10 3/4" high and 8 1/2" wide.

NOTE: Fellow collector and engineer, Mr. Patrick Coughlin, noted that this set lists accessories on the set lid, but the list is incorrect! The set only came with THREE (vs. four) wooden dowels (FPT3362) the yellow plastic aerial pivot spinner (FPT3368) is not listed in the printed inventory. Fisher-Price most likely replaced 1 wood dowel with the aerial pivot spinner, keeping the parts count at 30.
