The A. Schoenhut Catalogue from 1905 has a sample page that illustrates samples of circus toys
together with their ladders. I would assume that these toys are hard to find complete with their respective parts.
This Hubley catalogue is from about the late 1930's-early 1940's .
The sample page is of their famous motorcycles. Hubley and many
other manufacturers made lots of these cast-iron toys.
On the ATCA website, the catalogues are shown in their entirety.
What is great about the ATCA website is being able to check to see who
might have manufactured them I'm not a member of ATCA, but for some people, this is an
interesting organization that you might consider joining. By being a member, you can write to the organization to help you identify a particular toy, and that's a big help.

So when I revisited them, I was amazed to discover that they had a new addition to their website that I hadn't seen before my last visit. The new addition or section was titled ATCA Toy Catalogs, at the top of the page (please see where the arrow is pointing below).
