Found these posters hiding in the corner of an antique store. Fell in love with both!! I haven't found much info about these particular posters. They measure 25''x19". H5-6857 (?) Litho in USA is printed very small at very top of poster along edge....barely readable. I have a feeling there are other posters that belong with these....would love to find them!
Recently found two more...double sided -- both have a clown on one side and ring master on the other. Labeled Kraft K7-389. Clown says "Funniest" and the ring master says "Circus Days".
I bought some of these from a garage sale 15 years ago. I have the two you have shown above and also 5 others: Daring trapeze act, Spectacular gorilla,Sideshow monkey, Trilling lion, Basic Circus Days words. These are on light paper and from the Kraft company. I also have huge cardboard circus animals, clowns etc from Kraft. I bought and used them for a circus I did with my Kindergarten class. Hope this was helpful and I am willing to let these go if you would want to make a deal. I can also photograph and send pictures if you'd like to see any of them.
Also, I found out that Kraft put these out in the early 1960's.
