I see plumes, but no hame housings or kidney drops. Each circus generally had a brass plated logo on the hame housings and am sure RBBB would have had the same. Christy and AL,G.Barnes had some nice ones. Maybe was a late set up day and got the parade off to a late start. But they did manage to get the pkumes on. Note the plumes on draft stock were on the side of the brow band and not on top of the bridle because it would interfere with the over check assembly.

Great Britain was built by Bode as one of the wagons ordered by Ringling for the 1903 season in response to James A Bailey's announced greatest parade ever.
