More information about Circus Williams, the German circus Mr. Gebel-Williams worked at before his time at Ringling and the Williams family can be found at www.circus-williams.de/starte.htm . The history part is still undergoing translation but is expected to go online at the end of next week. Enjoy

Marco,
I have seen the site, and it is indeed very nice. Vintage GGW pictures are very interesting and hard to find. I encourage readers of this blog to look at the site.

Looks like 1974... or 1984.
Anyone recognize what spec that might be from?

Jeff,
I am not sure of the year, but it was the Toyland Spec. It was earlier then 1984, as that is the first year I was on Ringling, and that was the 100th Anniversary of The Ringling Bros. Spec. I also think it was later then 1974. One of the nicest spec's, next to King Neptune, I think.
