Turner Bros. Circus #3


Turner-3, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Another view of this same wagon. After Percy died in 1984, I lost track of where his equipment ended up. Then, a few years ago, this wagon surfaced in front of a little antique mall in Flinn Springs in East San Diego County. The mall’s owner had found it abandoned, and had attempted to restore it back to something approximating its original appearance. Unfortunately, it was then allowed to deteriorate, and today looks like a fugitive from a circus wagon graveyard.

Okay, I'll ask. What happened to this picture?
This is great artwork/signpainting, and I want to see it all!
