In 1986 Steiff began manufacturing a Circus Wagon set, called Golden Age of the Circus,  that would introduce one new piece per year, ending with 5 pieces.  The first piece, introduced by Steiff in 1986, was a blue circus wagon being pulled by an Elephant.  The wagon says “Steiff Circus Wild Animals“.  The next piece Steiff introduced, in 1987,  Was a wagon that held a Steiff plush lion.  The wagon holding the lion says “Steiff Circus Fighting Lions“.  The next piece was introduced by Steiff in 1988.  This was a wagon holding a Steiff Giraffe.  The wagon says “Circus Steiff African Giraffe“.  Next, in 1989, Steiff added to the Golden Age of Circus set with a wagon holding a Tiger.  The wagon says “Steiff Circus Bengal Tiger“.  The last piece that Steiff added to the Golden Age of the Circus set was a wagon holding 2 Steiff bears and a table.  The wagon says on it simply “Steiff Circus”
