Ringling Nellie (From Buckles)

"Ringling Nellie" might well be among these young elephants shown in this 1912 Ringling Bros. picture. When Al Ringling revived the 4-Paw-Sells Show for the  1910-11 seasons he purchased an act of three small elephants and Great Dane dogs from the Hagenbeck Zoo. "Nellie" was thought to be of their number. Ringling Nellie 1910-11 Adam Forepaugh-Sells Bros. Circus 1912-18 Ringling Bros.
