This wagon began life as one of the cages built by Tom Tucker on the Christy show in the mid
1920s. They were decorated with carvings from Beggs Wagon Co.

Most of the group were bought for the new Cole Bros 1935 show and used to house Clyde Beatty's cats.

This one was converted as seen here in 1938 and used to carry the air calliope but after the terrible 1940 winter quarters fire it was converted back to a cage.
