The so-called Queen's Float from barnum & Bailey, 1903, shown here after the Ringlings bought the show. The pith helmet on the driver is the key. The tusks were apparently not ivory, but examples of the draw shaver's capability. It served B&B and then RBBB through 1920. In a rebuilt form it continued on RBBB into the 1920s, used in the tournament.
