GENERAL INFORMATION. Baston sculpted the Ringling Bros. tiger at the same time as Emmett Kelly (see SML-130). Approximately 300 of the tiger were used by the circus for the same publicity purposes as the Kelly figurine.
Baston offered the figurine through his retail dealers when Ringling Bros. completed their campaign.From Dr. Glenn Johnson's book, The Sebastian Miniature Collection.
