This is what it looked like when completed at the Bode Wagon Works of Cincinnati 1902-03.
Note the serpentine sky board.

It was used for perhaps a decade on Ringling, somehow survived and was used in the RBBB kid show in the 1920s. A fragment of one side survived and served as the basis for the reconstruction that is presented today.
