Side Show Spiders

From 1972 till about 1980, my Father's workshop was a set of garages he rented in the back of a duplex in Pasadena. It was located on Walnut in Pasadena and it was right next door to Pooh Bah records which was in a house on the corner at the time. This is a Spider Girl Prop that was built for a circus attraction. There was a fellow named Jimmy Dixon, who purchased a few props from us at the time, I think this went to him, be had a small circus with animals and a tent, and this may have been for the side show that most circuses of those days offered to patrons on the mid-way. As you can see, we did not have a Spider Girl but we did have a Spider man and Spider Boy. My brothers Chris and Kirk both posed in the prop which makes it around 1972 or 1973 when we built it.
