Circus Acts/Fairs - Sunday Stamps

A set of four commemoratives on British Fairs were issued on 5 October 1983. I only have the first of these.


Great Britain - Merry-go-round
The other three covered
  • 20.1/2p Big wheel, Helter Skelter and Performing Animals
  • 28p Sideshows
  • 31p Early Produce Fair

From 2002 I found some circus stamps


Great Britain - Lion Tamer  
You'll notice that this First Class stamp was a Europa issue. However the 45p stamps was not.

Great Britain - Krazy Kar
These two were part of a set of 5 issued on 10 April 2002. The others were:

  • Slack wire act (Second class stamp)
  • Trick Tri-cyclists (Europa)
  • Equestrienne (65p)

Viridian's theme for this week has been 'circus clowns or fun fairs' - to see other contributions check out the links at Sunday-stamps-175.
