Wade,

Here are two more photos for you. These are both from the Milner Library Special collections at Illinois State University. They are part of the huge Sverre Braathen collection. The White and Gold color scheme was photographed on the RBBB lot on August 11, 1941 in Milwaukee.

The Red and Silver was photographed September 6, 1943 in Milwaukee. The red and silver is also in a 1944 photograph. While my dad's photo in 1951 shows the pumpkin orange which was pointed was probably a faded out Ringling red, the carvings are now gold again which seemingly indicates the wagon was repainted again after 1944 making the carvings gold while the body remained red, or possibly the silver all faded off and flaked off with the gold still under it.

It certainly gives lots to talk about to those that are interested.

Bob
