Artifact Overview
German immigrant Albert Schoenhut first patented the Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1903. He followed the high-quality tradition of German toymakers in manufacturing the many unusual and complex pieces for this toy circus. The jointed heads, arms, and legs on the wooden animals and figures used elasticized cords, which allowed them to be posed.
