There were 3 Elephant Tableau wagons in the 1920's owned by Hagenbeck-Wallace, Sells-Floto and Al G. Barnes respectifully. Although similar in design with lifesize Asian elephants on the sides with , each of the wagons was different.

The Al G. Barnes Elephant Tableau wagon is in the collection at Circus World Museum. Louis Goebel (CA) gave CWM the original elephant carvings and the wagonshop crew fabricated thye wagon and additional carvings.
