Isn't this at the Ringling Museums now on rubber wheels? This is the first time I ever saw it on sunburst wheels.

For our wagon historians...Who was this wagon built for to start with? If it's sitting in Peru, did RBBB take it with them or was it theirs to start with and just parked in Peru for whatever reasons at the time?

I think the Harp and Jesters came to the Hagenbeck-Wallace show in 1916. Again I think it was built by Bode. Was looking to see if I could find a photo of it in parade with a zebra or sometimes a Hybred zebra team and not having any luck this evening afterwork. All I can find is a poor photo of the team being made up in West Baden from the group of photos that Karl Knecht took in 1923.
