Gollmar Elephants #2


Scan11111, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

After the "Dancing 8" were returned to the Ringlings, the Gollmars built their elephant herd up to as many as nine when the show was sold in 1916.
These two young elephants in front are thought to be "Tommie" and "Louie" ( females) both later with Cole Bros. in the 1930's.

Any idea as to when and by whom these nice pics were taken? Enjoyed this series showing parts of the act as well as the recent group of Lemon and W.B. Reynolds, etc., especially when the latter included some interior menagerie views showing other elements. Nice early Christmas presents to all of us, Buckles! Merry Christmas to all!
