Does anyone know if this Case had been moved from Peru along with the other wagons about that time? Somewhere is a photo of the loaded flats going to Sarasota. I think they included the Two Jesters calliope, Harp & Jesters air calliope,and the Bell wagon. Was thinking the Five Graces, Lion & Snake,etc where moved after the these had been, maybe in 41? Could this have been just one of the regular farm tractors from the peru winterquarters? Therefore the 1940 Indiana plates?
