I would speculate that this photo is from the Floyd and Howard King 1929-1930 Cole Bros. World Toured Circus vs. the Adkins /Terrell show. Any thoughts anyone?

Bob,
Again not being and expert but have read a ton and modeled the Cole show, I would guess this is the advertising car from the 40's.
as all the pullman cars were lettered Cole Bros world toured Circus and red.
The car from the 30's had Clyde Beatty on it and then in 1937 had Ken Maynard.

Thanks Harry, I never knew they used the World Toured part of the title.

A comparison might reveal this to be the ex-1938 Tim McCoy advance car. It went to the Cole show.
