Acrobat and Horse Windup Toy
China, circa 1975?
This wind-up toy does two things: the horse moves up and down and the acrobat spins the propellers. Have you ever seen anyone do this in real life?
Clown on a High-Wheeler bicycle USA, circa 1940
Many of the first bicycles looked like this funny bike of the late 1800s and were called "high-wheelers" because the big wheel on front kept the rider high up. High wheelers and other bikes are still used in the circus by both acrobats and clowns.
