Thanks a lot.  Your help has been tremendous.
The tractor is exactly 5 inches from the front wheel to the to the back of the rear wheel.

The fire engine is 9 inches long and the horses and the front part of the carriage come apart.
The tractor is 5 inches and the driver comes off.
The circus wagon appears to be the same in the picture.  There is a place for the wheels under the front legs but they are missing.

I haven't been able to find any markings anywhere.  That is what has me baffled.  There are no manufacturing marks or words on any of them except the circus carriage.  Should I be looking somewhere else?

I recently acquired a small collection of antique cast iron toys.  The person told me that these toys along with the guns in the lot were from the middle to late 1800's.  Can someone please help me verify this story and give me some idea of the history or worth?
