The tusks look all the same size to perfect of a match?
The gal named Freida I belive was on the hunt show during the palaside park run when they were the Riding connelys bareback act.I remeber an older gal that I belive was freddys mother but do not recall her name who held the whips during the ridding act around 1959 or 1960.

Actually the wagons are the same wagon. The wagon was built in 1903 by Sebastian along with Africa, Asia, Europe, America, Funny Folks, Fairy Tales, Egypt, Queen Balkis Car (the 1 pictured), King's Car, Chivalry, Our Country, Phoenician Galley and the 2 Hemispheres bandwagon at a cost of $40,000-.

I think this wagon was also used from time to time in the spec. Fred Dahlinger or Stuart Thayer could comment on that.
