Sells-Floto Circus circa 1919 From the Melvin collection
Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus circa 1917
Wade,
This is a professional slide that was sold in the
gift shops at the Ringling Museums. This would be the same wagon you have on the
top photo of your post. The last time I was there was in 2006 and this wagon was
still there.
This causes me great confusion as the elephants
that were stripped off the wagon and used on the Jungleland front went to
Baraboo where they re-created the wagon. So where did those
elephant carvings come from? I don't know. Your guess is as good as
mine.

I believe I answered that question myself later on. The Jungleland elephants came off of the Barnes elephant tab of which I have no pictures of.

Bobby,
That's why I posted both comments, to illustrate to Radar "keep at it."
