Wade, I'll need to look again. I just found a cage in a Museum in Ca. a few weeks ago. It might be the same one. If it is, it came from the collapsed Ken Maynard circus. After the Maynard collapse,they were privately owned and used in some movies. Many of the wagons were then brought to Disney and later donated to the Circus World Museum.

Wade, This is the same cage I had discovered on the internet. It is currently at the Travel Town Museum in Los Angeles, CA.
This cage throws some circus history into arrears as it now becomes quite possible that one of the cages in Baraboo at the Circus World Museum is actually a Disney built reproduction and this is an original cage from the Ken Maynard show. There is certainly lots of speculation until some new information can be unearthed.
