Do you believe some bozo has this pic listed on eBay as "Conjoined twins?"

I know you are our watch pit bull dog on circus stuff on ebay or what is posted on Buckles also.
That Barnum and Bailey poster without the and is a classic.
And on ebay some fan dies and they have an estate sale and an antique dealer gets teh stuff cheap and puts it on ebay. They know nothing about circus history or what teh heck it is about and do not care. All they want is how much money they can get for the item.
The all time classic is the wooden hammer used for the high stricker on a carnival. But to them it is a circus hammer when the circus used all steel 20 pound hammers.
But as old P T. said there is one born every minute.
