One of the 1940 issues of Bell & Howell’s
movie-making magazine FILMO TOPICS had an article on a short
animated circus film that had recently been made by a Mr. Ludwig Wronkow of New
York City. It was titled JUNK
CIRCUS because the “cast” was made up entirely of figures that Mr.
Wronkow had assembled from odds and ends found about the house. These figures were so ingeniously done that
they are worth examining in detail since they might provide some ideas to those
of you who are teachers and/or artists.

I searched "WorldCat" which is a catalog of most of the libraries in the United States. Nothing comes up for "Junk Circus", but...
The “Center for Jewish History” in New York has a computer file titled “Interview with Ludwig Wronkow” That interview might have some information about whether any film survives.
The library catalog record has this bit of information:
