The old Sparks ticket wagon. Johnny Pugh once said a million dollars couldn't buy that wagon.

Arnold Maley worked in the ticket wagon on King Bros & Cristiani Circus in the early fifties. When the Cristiani family dissolved the partnership after the 1953 Season....Arnold Maley had enough cash to buy into a partnership with Floyd King. Does anyone on this blog have an educated guess as to how much Arnold Maley paid Floyd King?

I think the photo may be early '60s as I saw those light pylons only for a few years of the first several that I did catch the show, from 1961 on.
