Circus Figures & Wild Animals
Over the years Beton produced quite a few wild animals that were either sold separately or included in boxed Circus sets. All of these have the Bergen Toy & Novelty Co. name and trademark on them, even though the boxed Circus sets had the Beton name on the cover. In figures there were only four poses used in the circus sets: Lion Tamer, Clown, Ballerina, & Newsboy. The Ballerina appears as a figure on a stand, and also on horseback. I assume the newsboy was selling programs? And yes, as strange as it may seem, the moose was included in the circus sets.
