This Barney O’Hern Dog & Pony poster is the sister poster of The Spec with camel, elephant and showgirls. They were produced in 1945 and are 79 years old as of 2024. Barney O’Hern Circus advertised for acts in Billboard on March 2nd, 1946. The show, run by Barney O’Hern (Owner),  James O’Hern (Treasurer) and Rudy Jacobi (Manager), was a truck show that toured California and Nevada for one season only following World War II and then closed.

His son, Pat O’Hern said “My Dad took out the Barney O’Hern World Wide Circus in 1945 and part of 1946. I traveled with the show and worked in the Winter Quarters and sometimes as performer while on the road. The show was a three ring, tent show with a side show and several “pit shows” and traveled by truck. We played in both California and Nevada. “

While there are 12 different posters produced for this circus, only two were half-sheets (21” by 28”).  All the others are one-sheets (42” by 28”)
