I have a number of promotional items related to the Roberts Bros. Circus including posters, tickets and I'm not sure what else. I don't know if there is anything you are interested in but if you are I'd be happy to give them to you. My father-in-law also kept yearly diaries and if I recall correctly he mentions the Earls many times and some of that might be of interest. Sincerely, Bill Teresa,

Moore of Caroleen, NC. He worked with Mills Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus in 1951 to 1955. I am trying to locate additional information about his circus life. If at all possible please email me at cahedgepeth@yahoo.com. I do have one picture of him working but he passed away in the 70's therefore I never knew him and alot of information about his has been lost. Thanks, Clarissa Hedgepeth Hello,

Dibble Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:43:29 +0000 http://www.worthpoint.com/?p=2483417#comment-3823 This is actually Mrs. Dibble's daughter writing regarding the worth of the circus memorabilia. We have been going through the collection of items and have found many black and white pictures possibly dating back to 1936 or earlier of the following circuses: Wallace Brothers, Cole Brothers, Ringling Brothers, Daily Brothers, Christy Brothers, and Robins Brothers circus's. We also have many posters from circus's such as Christy Brother's wild animal show, Ringling Brothers Worlds Greatest Circus, Emmett Kelly painting, signed painting by oberstein and a signature I can't make out (see attached photo's). We also have other posters from Robert G. Earl circus, wallace bros., bears and barns circus, and mills brothers. This is not including a book of 100 posters that my dad had in his collection. The circus models are all kits. We also have two metal mechanical clown banks, but I can't find a date. I will include pictures of the items I have mentioned. Also, would you know any collectors who would be interested in circus memorabilia who we could contact?Thank you for your advisement as to the value of these items. We really appreciate your time and effort. This is actually Mrs. Dibble’s daughter writing regarding the worth of the circus memorabilia.

Recently 24 issues of Little Circus Wagon from the 1960s sold for $100. A complete set from 1964 to 2005 sold for $260.00. A hundred issues of Bandwagon sold for just over $100.00. It's not possible to put a value on the models without seeing them. Value is based on the quality of the model and whether is was built from scratch or from a kit. The photos could have great value if they are original but without seeing them I couldn't place a value on them. You mention he was a semi professional magician. Old magic equipment is highly collectible. Mrs. Dibble,

Boxes of Bandwagon mag. 1963 to-july-Aug 1999, issues of Little Circus Wagon from 1964-1996 (92 Seems incomplete but is probably somewhere in all the research he did) 'O'gauge circus model kits and his own miniature circus, if memory serves me correctly the Carson Barnes, old photographs. HELP please on any direction of their worth. He had too much to list and its time for me to relocate to be near our grown children.
