Calling all Circus Historians

Announcement from Richard Tuck viewed 693 times

Have any knowledge of the Sells-Floto circus during the 1929-31 time frame? If so, help Richard Tuck and Playland-Not-at-the-Beach with their tribute to Don Marcks.

I am looking for information from anyone who has knowledge of the Sells-Floto circus during the 1929-31 time frame. I am involved with building Playland-Not-at-the-Beach, a nonprofit museum in the San Francisco Bay Area. One section of the museum commemorates the contribution of Don Marcks to the world of circus history. We will have a tribute to Circus Report, the weekly newsletter that Don home published for over thirty years.

We will also have a massive display of Don Marcks's miniature circus which he handcarved over five decades, working side by side with his father Isaac. The display is awesome (See the pictures on our website http://www.playland-not-at-the-beach.org/), and it is historically accurate, depicting a summer day in 1930 when the Sells-Floto Circus was performing. I want to learn more about the Sells-Floto Circus, especially their route in 1929-1931.

If anyone can help, please give me a call.

Best regards,
Richard Tuck
