Looks to be a section added to the frame between the elephant's back and the chair.
No doubt a thrill ride ahead of it's day.; 27 November, 2009 06:10

The wagon is the former 1903-built B&B Queen's float. It was rebuilt after 1917, seen in original condition in a Ralph Miller photo.

Can someone confirm the location as Rockford, IL?; 27 November, 2009 09:04
Buckles said...: The riders appear to be gentlemen and little wonder since the howdahs look top heavy and would have plenty of play.
If I had to make an educated guess I'd say RBBB 1920's.; 27 November, 2009 09:34
