Even I, as well as all you fellow Baraboobians should recognize the Lion & Mirror Band Wagon.

Showmen like the Ringlings and George Christy called it the "Lion Tableau." "Lion & Mirror" is circus fan language.

Are the mirrors in place in this photo and covered up by the design or were the mirrors modifications later in its life?

when this was restored at CWM it was interesting to see how the repairs or restoration had been done in prior years we found cement hammered copper and tin along with the normal wood fillers and Bondo and the number of coats of paint that hid so much of the carving detail
