LARGE SCRATCH BUILT MODEL CIRCUS a wonderful scratch built Homa Bros Circus, including a Big Top (5 foot by 3 foot) and a range of transport vehicles and wagons. Made in wood and metal with some vehicles fitted with electric motors, each model with parts inside to make into structures. The Animal wagons with plastic animals inside (some by Britains), and also with Caravans, Seating, and various other items. Also with information about how and when it was made, and instructions for assembly. When fully assembled it covers an area 18 foot by 5 foot. *One of the notes states, The Construction of Homa Brothers Circus commenced in 1962, and began as a Tractor and Lion Cage for our eldest Son. Having been a life long Circus enthusiast it did not take me long to have the idea of building a complete Circus. It was built by a Mr B Carpenter in Chippenham, with the help of his two Sons.

“Congratulations on what looked like a very successful sale ! You never mentioned that you did the auctioneering as well ... talk about doing the whole job ... see it into the building, find out what it is, decide if it’s for the Fine Art sale or the General Sale, lot it and describe it accordingly, and then sell it ... that really does count as seeing the job through from start to finish! Whilst the job isn’t over yet, it really is a case of so far, so good ... some items have sold for sums that exceeded our expectations, with one item in particular fetching a truly remarkable sum, so we’re very happy indeed... we’ve noted how accurate the guide prices are ... and how gratifying it is when the bidding goes sailing past the guide ! I found the whole week to be both gripping entertainment and pleasingly rewarding financially. Please accept my sincerest congratulations for a job well done, and we’ll look forward to the October and November Sales with bated breath ...”
