Al G. Barnes 1930's #5

Scan13253, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. I lifted this from the 1936 Francis Benedict Study the weights shown in the left column look a lot more accurate. For some reason, two elephants were excluded, "Topsy" and "Modoc" (later of Ralph Helfer fame) this is the same herd as seen in 1937 above in picture #4. With the exception of "Tommy" I havn't seen too many circus elephants exceed 10,000 lbs. "Anna May" was 8,000. However I recently saw several up at the Stud Farm that easily topped 12,000.
