Rare Vintage Circus Costume Royal Hanneford One piece ladies silver one piece outfit with clip neck straps. Beautiful detailed faux jeweled thunderbird design with teal accents with zipper back.
This costume was among another belonging to famed RH performer Struppi Hanneford.
This is one of several Royal Hanneford Circus costumes from a Sarasota, Florida estate that are being listed. Has not been cleaned or ironed, sold as found. See pictures for best measurements.
The RH circus family spanned an unbroken circus history that began with Edwin Hanneford in the 1600s. Working in Ireland and England initially in later years the family was brought to the USA by John Ringling and was featured by the Ringling Bros. circus. Aerialists, equestrian performers, clowns and animal acts were all part of the glorious menagerie the family brought to circus entertainment. They eventually settled in the Sarasota, Florida area and have a large chapter in the circus history hall of fame.
Will combine shipping and give discounts to purchases of more than one costume from this lot. Thanks for looking!
