The R & L series, 1963 Circus Cereal Toys, can be easily confused with the 1969 Carnival series. The 1963 releases were issued with Kellogg while the 1969 Carnival series was with Nabisco (Weeties) and Nabisco promoted it as Circus Toys on the front of the Weeties boxes.
Kellogg referred to this series as Circus Capers on the boxes and the set of 6 snap together frames are:
- High Wire Clown
- Gymnast
- Walking Elephant
- Lion Cage
- Rolling Clown
- See Saw Monkey
The High Wire Clown used the snap frame as a part of the assembly and from the parts that I have I can see that many would have been inadvertently destroyed during snapping the parts from the frame.
As always Craig Halls’ book, Breakfast barons, Cereal critters and the Rosenhain & Lipmann Legacy, is my reference bible for cereal toys. This series is found on page 132
