Hello Buckles,
This photo may not show up too well as it is a 14 inch wide Kelty in a 8x10 scanner. Photo taken May 31, 1932 in Jersey City N.J. of the Star Aerialists of RBBB. Of course the greatest of all time maybe, The Codona's,The Concello's and The Seigrists. You had some Ringling photos of Mr.Kitto's on the blog back on May the 9th of 2009 and Richard Reynolds explained to me the reason the 4th giraffe wagon was on the 3rd section in the Ringling-Barnum photo #1 instead of the cage cut on the 1st section. Well I knew I had seen a photo of this when he explained it to me and I just came across it again this evening after work. Again, I don't know if you can see the photo very well. I wish they made a larger scanner for these photos. Anyways, in the background of this photo, you can see both of the performing seal wagons #93 and #94. Next to them on the rt are the knock down seal transfer cages. And on the far right is the back end of the 4th giraffe wagon with props stored in it. Again, great job on the blog, Best regards, P.J.Holmes

Actually "Codona" is the correct spelling of the Flying Act originally from Mexico, not "Cordona".

I sent these photos in the other day. When I saw them this morning at work, I just assumed I had mistyped it. Cordona being a somewhat common Spanish surname.

I've seen it in circus print as Cadona, Caddonna, Cordona, etc.
Be sure to catch the Leitzel-Codona interviews in the May-June BANDWAGON.
