Here again are a couple of the

waltzing tiger pedestals from

Charly and the older mesh arena

from the Blue show is looking

a little ragged

Chic Silber said...

How about that ruffled garland

detail decorating the ring curb

Pretty snappy huh

Jewell with Monarch,Travis and Lancer on the handme down pedestals.

Relooking at the picture you can see me at the gate beside the tunnel. With whip inhand to toss to Jewell because he often got the first whip caught on something else in the cage so I would toss him an extra.

What's a "ring-curb" ?

Chic Silber said...

I don't remember if there was

any way of blocking the outside

light once all the cats were

in the arena Gary

I spent about a month on site

and then would visit from time

to time as requested

The props I mentioned are the

ones in the lower right corner

I think they had the turners

made for Jewel in Venice

Chic Silber said...

My apology for misspelling

Jewell I do know better

Chic,
Spindles, not "turners". LOL
Wade Burck

Gary,
I never thought of Charly's, GGW's, or Ursula's props as "hand me downs," anymore then England's coronation crown is a hand me down. LOL
Wade Burck

GaryHill said...

True Wade, but his props were beat to hell from all those years.

GaryHill said...

Yes, I men't to say spindles also.

Chic Silber said...

Not the 1st thing I've forgotten

Just you wait Wade and you'll get

your turn in the barrel

But thanks anyway

Chic Silber said...

Somebody PLEASE SPLAIN ring curb

Unless Anony is just kidding

Wade G. Burck said...

Gary,
There is not a show owned prop that is not "beat to death", from all those years.
Wade Burck

Chic Silber said...

Yup the operative words are...

"Show Owned"

Although many of the act owned

don't fare much better

Charly was anal about his props. We replaced the wood on the seats in Quarters and he wanted to again when we were in NYC? His cages were treated the same. No reason Tiger Joe wasn't too worried about going out when his wife got sick.
