An Original Vintage Unfolded Circus Poster (measures 21" x 28" [53 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Tom Mix Circus was a 1930s traveling circus ("Tom Mix 'himself' and Tony will positively appear at each performance"; "Tom Mix and Tony [in person]"; "Colossal array of American and European stars"; "Idol of millions - the hero of American youth") run by and starring Tom Mix. Cowboy western movie actor Tom Mix was the headline star of the Sells Floto circus from 1929 to 1932. He was paid $20,000 a week! Unfortunately, the success of that circus caused Mix to leave Sells Floto and after appearing with some other circuses, he started his own circus in 1935, and it ruined him financially (likely because it was during the height of The Great Depression), and it folded in 1938. Note that at the time he headlined in his own circus, he was between 55 and 58 years old, and yet he still performed many of his classic stunts and sharpshooting routines himself! Even more amazing, his horse from his movie days, Tony (The Wonder Horse), appeared with him even through his time in his own circus, when Tony was in his late 30s!

The poster has pretty substantial rippling and discoloration at top (see our image). There are creases, pieces of tape and some areas of paper loss along portions of the blank borders and there is some slight discoloration scattered in smaller portions of the edges. Fortunately the art is "all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
