Circus wagon photo taken in 1974, location unknown of a wagon I have never seen before. Bob Cline, do you know where this wagon is at now?
1932 color cover for The Sportsman Magazine featuring a painting of a Bear Dance by the artist John Whorf.

The cage wagon is one of the Disney-rebuilt vehicles at Circus World Museum, the applied signage not reflecting reality. There were two that looked like this.
Best cage signboard signage: Christy Bros. "Baby Okapi," circa 1927, confirmed in an actual photograph. There was a rumor that he also had one labeled "Pterodactyl," but that may only be a rumor.
Anonymous,
Thank you. The signage is what seemed questionable to me. That it was a "Disney creation" makes more sense. If a circus say's it has/had a Pterodactyl then it by God has/had one. No rumors, just facts.
