Jim,
I second your thoughts on these great pictures from the great days of the circus.
A model builders dream to see all this.
Buckles is a true Houdini and what will he pull out of his bag of picturs next.
I cannot wait to see his next surprise photos.
Thanks so much for sharing these with us that never got to see the way it was.
Harry
